ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for implementing a paging mechanism in a wireless LAN, for example, a wireless LAN according to the Hiperlan2Technical Specification, for allowing a base station, or an access point, to page a mobile terminal that is not connected with, or associated with, the access point. The present paging mechanism is implemented by transmitting a broadcast channel message that includes an indication that a paging message is included in the current data frame, a second broadcast channel message that includes the information specific to the paging message, and a third broadcast channel message that include information regarding the location of the second broadcast channel message in the data frame. In response to the broadcast channel message indicating the presence of the paging request, the mobile terminal acquires the second and third broadcast channel messages and determines whether the paging request is intended for the mobile terminal.
