Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating paging of an access terminal. A detector detects delivery at the access terminal of a paging message. The paging message includes a group of identities that are ordered. The ordering is determinative of an extra identity bit conveyed with the paging message.
Claims18
A method of facilitating access terminal paging, said method comprising:
- ordering a first group of partial identities that includes at least a first partial identity and a second partial identity, wherein a value of a first additional identity bit can be determined based upon an order of the first partial identity and the second partial identity in an access terminal paging message without the first additional identity bit being included in the access terminal paging message;
- and
- structuring the access terminal paging message to include the first group of partial identities, ordered by said ordering, and a second group of partial identities, the second group of partial identities including at least a third partial identity, wherein the order of the first group of partial identities conveys the value of the first additional identity bit.
Apparatus for facilitating access terminal paging, said apparatus comprising:
- an orderer configured to order a first group of partial identities that includes at least a first partial identity and a second partial identity, wherein a value of a first additional identity bit can be determined based upon an order of the first partial identity and the second partial identity in an access terminal paging message without the first additional identity bit being included in the access terminal paging message;
- and
- a structurer configured to structure the access terminal paging message to include the first group of partial identities, a second group of partial identities including at least a third partial identity, wherein said order of the first partial identity and the second partial identity conveys the value of the first additional identity bit.
A method for facilitating paging of an access terminal, said method comprising:
- detecting delivery at the access terminal of a paging message structured to include an access terminal paging message to include a first group of partial identities and a second group of partial identities, the first group including at least a first partial identity and a second partial identity in an ordered arrangement, and the second group including at least a third partial identity, wherein a value of a first additional identity bit can be determined based upon an order of the first partial identity and the second partial identity in the access terminal paging message without the first additional identity bit being included in the access terminal paging message;
- determining the value of the first additional identity bit based upon the order of the first group of partial identities;
- and
- deciding whether the access terminal is paged.
