Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for operating a mobile station to receive paging messages broadcast thereto. Determination of operating characteristics, such as noise levels or fading levels, are made. Responsive to such determinations, selection is made either to cause operation of the mobile station responsive to page indication bits broadcast upon a quick-paging channel (F-QPCH), or to merely monitor the paging channel in conventional manner.
