Abstract
A method of providing a packetized data transmission service to a mobile terminal in a spread spectrum communication network, includes: at a transmitter, broadcasting an indication message to a cell on a downlink broadcast channel, the indication message providing notification of an available packetized data transmission service intended for the mobile terminal; at the mobile terminal, monitoring the broadcast channel for the indication message, and upon receipt, acknowledging detection of the indication message to the transmitter on an uplink contention channel; and at the transmitter, upon contention completion, transmitting packetized data transmission service configuration information to the mobile terminal on the broadcast channel.
