A method, system, and machine-readable medium for transmitting a downlink signal in a substantially non directional manner from a communication station to a first remote communication device on a downlink channel. The communication station includes a smart antenna system having an array of antenna elements. The method includes determining a first downlink smart antenna processing strategy for transmitting in a first non-directional manner, transmitting a first downlink message from the communication station in the first non-directional manner using the first downlink smart antenna processing strategy, and repeating transmitting the first downlink message from the communication station in a second non-directional manner. The repeated transmitting is non-identical repetition to facilitate the interference environment being different in the repetition.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for receiving a paging signal in a data frame from a base station, the frame defined by a communication protocol as having a group of sequential time slots being data transfer periods within the frame, comprising:receiving a paging signal at a mobile user terminal in a sub-period of a data transfer period of a data frame as defined by the communication protocol;receiving a repetition of the paging signal in a different sub-period of the data frame to provide different spatial signatures between the paging signal and the repetition of the paging signal, wherein the repetition is one of one or more repetitions, where the number of repetitions is based on estimation of proximity of the mobile user terminal to the base station, the estimation based on data sent from the mobile user terminal to the base station in a negotiation sequence; andprocessing the paging signal and the repetition of the paging signal to obtain paging data.
