FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention discloses a method of operating a mobile station (MS) to support an idle mode in a superframe-based wireless communication system. A paging listening interval is determined based on a broadcast channel (BCH) information transmit (TX) interval. BCH information includes paging information received during the paging listening interval. The inclusion/non-inclusion of a paging advertisement (MOB_PAG-ADV) message is detected based on the BCH information.
EFFECT: reduced overhead costs by separating paging group identifier information from the MOB_PAG-ADV message.
