Claims9
A method of transmitting a broadcast message from a base station to one or more mobile stations using a Forward Common Control Channel (F-CCCH) in a wireless communication system in which periodic enhanced broadcast paging is enabled, the method comprising:
- transmitting information related to the number of Broadcast Control Channels (BCCHs) used for transmitting broadcast messages to the at least one mobile station;
- if the information includes a value which indicates that a BCCH is not supported:
- transmitting a plurality of broadcast messages in a first slot of a broadcast paging cycle of the F-CCCH if the plurality of broadcast messages fit in the first slot;
- and
- transmitting, if the plurality of broadcast messages do not fit in the first slot, a plurality of broadcast paging messages in the first slot and transmitting the plurality of broadcast messages in at least one subsequent slot of the broadcast paging cycle in accordance with the plurality of transmitted broadcast paging messages,
- wherein each of the plurality of broadcast paging messages includes different information depending on whether the BCCH is supported or not.
