Abstract
A method for increasing the control channel capacity of a control station in a communications system. According to the method, in an idle mode of operation, a mobile station receives and processes data during more than one time slot per frame. As a result, additional channel structures are made possible such that additional data can be broadcast to a mobile station without restructuring a conventional slot format.
