Paging Channel
Application: There are up to 7 paging channels available to each base station. While the mobile is not in the traffic mode, the base sends orders and messages to the mobile on the paging channel. It receives responses and requests via the mobile's Access Channel.
The data rate on the paging channels is either 9600 or 4800 bits/sec. The paging traffic is protected by rate 1/2 convolutional encoding, interleaving, and scrambling using a paging channel mask. The nth paging channel, n equal 1 up to 7, is always assigned the nth Walsh word. There is no power control on the paging channel. The pilot PN code offset used to spread the paging channels is the same as used to spread all the other signals transmitted by a given base station.
