Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating access terminal paging. A first non common portion of first and second identities are ordered. Once ordered, the non common portions are included in an access terminal paging message. The ordering of the non common portions are determinative of conveyance of a first additional identity bit.
Claims20
A method for facilitating access terminal paging, said method comprising:
- ordering a first non common portion of a first identity and a second non common portion of a second identity;
- and
- structuring the access terminal paging message to include a common portion that is common to both the first identity and the second identity, the common portion a field of bits shared by the first identity and the second identity and used for paging the first identity, and the second identity, and to include the first non common portion and the second non common portion, once ordered, ordering determinative of conveyance of a first additional identity bit.
Apparatus for facilitating access terminal paging, said apparatus comprising:
- an orderer configured to order a first non common portion of a first identity and a second non common portion of a second identity;
- an access terminal paging message structurer configured to structure the access terminal paging message to include a common portion that is common to both the first identity and the second identity, the common portion a field of bits shared by the first identity and the second identity and used for paging the first identity and the second identity, and to include the first non common portion and the second non common portion, once ordered, ordering conveying a 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 a common portion that is common to both a first identity and a second identity, the common portion a field of bits, the field of bits shared by the first identity and the second identity, and used for paging the first identity and the second identity, and an ordered series of a first non common portion and a second non common portion;
- determining from an ordering of the ordered series a first additional identity bit;
- and
- deciding whether the access terminal is paged.
Apparatus for facilitating paging of an access terminal, said apparatus comprising:
- a detector configured to detect delivery at the access terminal of a paging message structured to include a common portion that is common to both a first identity and a second identity and an ordered series of a first non common portion and a second non common portion, the common portion a field of bits, the field of bits shared by the first identity and the second identity, and used for paging the first identity and the second identity, wherein an ordering of the ordered series conveys a first additional identity bit;
- and
- a decider configured to decide whether the access terminal is paged.
