Abstract
A method and system are provided that allow a mobile communications service provider to broadcast messages using more than one broadcast channel protocol, such that only the mobile stations designed to receive broadcast messages transmitted under each protocol are woken up to monitor their respective broadcast channel slots, thus saving battery life in mobile stations designed to receive broadcast messages transmitted using other broadcast channel protocols.
