A method of and apparatus for paging a wireless terminal in a wireless telecommunications system reduce standby mode power consumption. A minimally encoded quick paging channel is established over which short quick page messages are transmitted during one of a set of quick paging slots. The quick page message indicates that a communications request has been received and that the receiving communication terminals should process a highly encoded full paging channel over which more detailed full page messages are transmitted during the next full paging slot. A terminal monitors full paging channel only after a quick page message has been received on the quick paging channel.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 29, 1998 and granted July 10, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 29, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 29, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
