At least one receiver searcher (109) scans the at least one active pilot and at least one of the plurality of neighbor pilots prior to an assigned slot. A logic and control circuit (113) includes in the Active Set, prior to the assigned slot, at least two pilots of the at least one active pilot and the at least one of the plurality of neighbor pilots scanned prior the assigned slot. At least two of a plurality of receiver fingers (107) simultaneously monitor the Paging Channels of the at least two pilots during the assigned slot.
