Abstract
A method of assigning paging channels to terminals providing group communications with a communications systems includes defining a control channel including a plurality of time slots wherein the time slots are grouped into time frames so that each time frame includes a plurality of sequential time slots. A first time slot of each of the time frames is assigned as a first paging channel for one of the terminals. A second time slot of each of the time frames is assigned as a second paging channel for the terminal wherein the second time slot is assigned to provide a desired proximity of the first and second time slots within each of the time frames. Related systems and terminals are also discussed.
