ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method to operate a mobile station (60) and a mobile station that operates in accordance with the method. The method includes: (a) simultaneously demodulating a digital paging channel (DPCH) from individual ones of N base stations using a plurality of fingers (78), where N is greater than one; (b) soft combining (82A,82B) the outputs of those fingers that receive the DPCH from an individual one of the N base stations and storing the combined soft outputs in an individual one of N buffers (84A,84B); and (c) separately decoding (90) the content of each of the N buffers to determine if a page for the mobile station was received from at least one of the N base stations.
