Abstract
A communication device can perform discontinuous reception to intermittently monitor a wireless communication channel designated for receiving paging messages. The communication device determines that a synchronization signal for the wireless communication channel is not received during monitoring in the discontinuous reception. In response to the determination, the communication device monitors a paging alert channel designated for paging alerts. Such monitoring can include tuning a receiver of the communication device to selectively monitor the paging alert channel to receive signals during a series of frames such that the communication device accumulates repeated transmissions of paging alert signals sent in the series of frames.
