1. A method of forming a paging channel message of a fixed length, said method comprising the operations of:
allocating a portion of the fixed length based upon a communication activity indicia; and
using the portion for access-terminal paging.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the portion allocated during said operation of allocating is of a length of a selected one of: a first-portion length and at least a second-portion length.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the first-portion length comprises a 32-bit length.
4. The method of claim 2 wherein the first-portion length comprises a 33-bit length.
5. The method of claim 2 wherein the first-portion length comprises a 34-bit length.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein said operation of using comprises populating the portion with paging indicators.
7. The method of claim 6 further comprising the operation of allocating the paging indicators on a per page basis.
8. The method of claim 6 further comprising the operation of allocating the paging indicators on a paging load basis.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein a remaining part of the paging channel message subsequent to allocation during said operation of allocating is populated with a number that identifies allocation of page indicators per page of the portion selected during said operation of selecting.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the paging channel comprises a Quick Paging Channel, QPCH, and wherein the portion selected during said operation of selecting comprises part of a QPCH message.
11. The method of claim 1 further comprising the operation of generating a signaling message that includes indication of configuration of the paging channel message.
12. An apparatus for forming a paging channel message of a fixed length used pursuant to access-terminal paging, said apparatus comprising:
an allocator configured to allocate a portion of the fixed length based upon a communication activity indicia.
13. In an access network entity that sends information, an improvement of apparatus for forming a paging channel message of a fixed length pursuant to access terminal paging, said apparatus comprising:
a message generator configured to form the paging channel message with a selected portion length, selected from amongst a plurality of possible portion lengths, to be used pursuant to the access-terminal paging, and of which the selected portion length is populated with paging indicators useable pursuant to the access-terminal paging.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the fixed length of the paging channel message comprises a 35-bit length and wherein the plurality of possible portion-lengths comprises a 34-bit length.
15. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the fixed length of the paging channel message comprises a 35-bit length and wherein the plurality of possible portion-lengths comprises a 33-bit length.
16. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the fixed length of the paging channel message comprises a 35-bit length and wherein the plurality of possible portion-lengths comprises a 32-bit length.
17. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein said message generator is configured to form a Quick Paging Channel, QPCH, message.
18. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein selection by said message generator of the selected portion-length is made responsive, at least in part, to a paging load level.
19. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the paging indicators populating the selected portion-length of the paging channel message are allocated on a per page basis.
20. Apparatus for an access terminal, said apparatus comprising:
a first detector configured to detect at least two types of fixed length paging messages; and
a determiner configured to determine, based upon either of the two types of fixed length paging messages, if the access terminal is paged.
21. The apparatus of claim 20 further comprising a second detector configured to detect a signaling message that includes configuration of the fixed length paging messages.
22. A method for facilitating paging of an access terminal, said method comprising the operations of:
detecting delivery of any of at least two types of fixed length paging messages; and
determining therefrom if the access terminal is paged.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of repairing labral tissue comprising:
implanting a first fixation member into tissue at a first location;
passing a flexible member across a wound;
implanting a second fixation member into tissue at a second location;
wherein the first fixation member and the second fixation member are slidably received on a single closable loop formed by the flexible member; and
pulling on a terminal end of the flexible member to shorten a length of the single closable loop.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the tissue at the first location is soft tissue and the tissue at the second location is bone tissue.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein, the tissue at the first location is soft tissue and the tissue at the second location is soft tissue.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein, the tissue at the first location is bone tissue and the tissue at the second location is bone tissue.
