Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for transmitting an overload message. By detecting, after determining a latest transmit slot for an overhead message to be transmitted, whether there is an idle paging slot between a current slot and the latest transmit slot, the method transmits the overhead message to be transmitted in the idle paging slot or in the latest transmit slot, such that, when scheduling overhead messages, a paging scheduling module of the base station system not only can meet the requirement of transmitting each overhead message at least once in one overhead message period as required in CDMA2000 protocol, but also automatically schedule the next overhead message when there is an idle slot in the paging channel, thus making the best use of the idle slots of the paging channel and shortening the actual transmission period for overhead messages, without affecting the transmission of other messages in the paging channel.
