A base station subsystem (BSS) and a method are described herein for performing a procedure to increase an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) capacity by minimizing an amount of mobile station specific information carried within an immediate assignment message. Plus, a mobile station (MS) and a method are described herein for performing a procedure to increase an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) capacity by minimizing an amount of mobile station specific information carried within an immediate assignment message.

Optimized system access procedures

Scheduling of a Temporary Block Flow in a wireless communication system, wherein a type of Temporary Block Flow supported in the wireless communication system is evaluated () and a set of packet data channels pre-assigned to the Temporary Block Flow is identified. For a type of Temporary Block Flow supporting dynamic scheduling, carrier scheduling is performed by identifying timeslots () available for packet data scheduling for the Transmission Time Interval, determining a new set of packet data channels for potential scheduling to the Temporary Block Flow in the Transmission Time Interval, wherein the new set of packet data channels may include time slots on any carrier(s), and specifying () the packet data channels selected for potential scheduling for the Temporary Block Flow as a subset of packet data channels within the pre-assigned packet data channels. Packet data channels are allocated () for the Temporary Block Flow in the Transmission Time Interval. The Temporary Block Flow is scheduled () to the set of packet data channels.

Dynamic temporary block flow scheduling

A method, in a base station subsystem (), of allocating radio resources to mobile stations () in a wireless communication system () involves the base station subsystem () assigning a respective Temporary Block Flow (TBF) to each mobile station () in a cell () in the communication system (), and then assigning to each TBF a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI), at least one Packet Data Channel (PDCH), and an Uplink State Flag (USF) if the TBF is an uplink TBF. The base station subsystem () then selects different training sequences from a plurality of available training sequences and assigns a respective different selected training sequence to two or more TBFs wherein these two or more TBFs share the same assigned Temporary Flow Identity (TFI), the same assigned Packet Data Channel (PDCH), and/or the same assigned Uplink State Flag (USF) if the TBF is an uplink TBF.

Method for increasing the address space for mobile terminals in a wireless network

A base station subsystem (BSS) and a method are described herein for improving an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) capacity when mobile stations establish an uplink Temporary Block Flow (TBF) triggered by a small data transmission (SDT) or an instant message transmission (IMT). Plus, a mobile station (MS) and a method are described herein for improving the AGCH capacity when the mobile station establishes an uplink TBF triggered by a SDT or an IMT.
