Method and apparatus for pseudo-synchronized paging to a mobile station in a wireless communication system. A number of paging repetitions is assigned, wherein a quick page message is repeatedly sent to a target mobile station for the number of paging repetitions. The number of paging repetitions is part of a paging instruction from a base station controller to a base station. The pseudo-synchronized method is used when the target mobile station is soft handoff.

1. In a wireless communication system having a base station controller and a plurality of base stations, a method comprising:receiving a paging instruction from the base station controller at a base station of the plurality of base stations, the paging instruction specifying a number of paging repetitions; andtransmitting a quick paging message to a target recipient of the paging instruction for the number of paging repetitions, the target recipient being in soft handoff; andwherein if the number of paging repetitions is one, transmitting a paging message to the target recipient during a next transmission slot assigned to the target recipient. 2. The method as in claim 1, further comprising:determining a loading condition of the base station; andtransmitting a paging message to the target recipient within the number of paging repetitions. 3. In a wireless communication system having a base station controller and a plurality of base stations, a base station, comprising:means for receiving a paging instruction from the base station controller at a base station of the plurality of base stations, the paging instruction specifying a number of paging repetitions;means for transmitting a quick paging message to a target recipient of the paging instruction for the number of paging repetitions, wherein the target recipient is in soft handoff; andwherein if the number of paging repetitions is one, transmitting a paging message to the target recipient during a next transmission slot assigned to the target recipient. 4. The base station as in claim 3, further comprising:means for determining a loading condition of the base station; andmeans for transmitting a paging message to the target recipient within the number of paging repetitions. 5. A method for a wireless communication system, comprising:receiving a paging instruction specifying a number of paging repetitions for a target recipient in soft handoff with a base station;determining a loading condition of the base station;transmitting a quick paging message to the target recipient during a first and successive time slots until the number of paging repetitions are exhausted and the loading condition of the base station is below a loading condition threshold.
