Abstract
In connection with paging displacement operation, a mobile station delays entry into sleep mode in order to read a specified number of subsequent alternate (i.e., every other) additional paging channel slots to receive a paging message. During the paging channel slots located between those designated for reading paging displacement related paging messages, the mobile station makes more efficient use of limited battery supplied energy resources by making any requisite signal strength measurements.
