The present invention provides an improved method of alerting a remote device in an idle state over a channel. A value R 1 , which is the location of an initial PI bit within an initial half of at least one time slot on the channel, is computed based on a hashing algorithm defined in IS-2000 that uses information about the remote device. The initial indicator bit is assigned a binary value by the base station. Then, a value R 2 , which is the location of a further bit on a further half of the at least one time slot on the channel, is computed based on an improved hashing algorithm. Then, the further indicator bit is assigned a binary value by the base station. Then, the remote device in the idle state is alerted over the channel based on the assigned bit location R 1 and further bit location R 2 .
