Abstract: In wireless communication system each MS is assigned a globally unique address. The method and system use one of these globally unique addresses to identify the MS. The efficient method of signaling this large size MS address (MS ID) is proposed. The ‘n’ bit MS ID is divided into ‘p’ parts wherein ‘p’ is greater than 1. The MS is addressed or identified using ‘x’ parts from a set of ‘p’ parts of MS ID, wherein ‘x’<=‘p’. Further, methods to determine and signal the number of parts i.e. value of ‘x’ and which ‘x’ parts out of ‘p’ parts to be used for addressing is also proposed. The decision to determine the number of parts i.e. value of ‘x’ and which ‘x’ parts out of ‘p’ parts to be used for addressing the MS may be static, semi static or dynamic.
