In the method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system, an access network receives an access request and a token from an access terminal. The token includes at least one bit associated with a parameter group type, and the bit indicates whether the access terminal is operating according to a default parameter group for the associated parameter group type. The access network sends information to and receives information from the access terminal according to the default parameter group without negotiating a parameter group of the associated parameter group type when a portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according to the default parameter group for the associated parameter group type and the bit indicates the access terminal operates according to the default parameter group for the associated parameter group type.

Method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system

The present invention provides a method is provided for blocking alert messages to mobile units. The method includes determining at least one location of at least one mobile unit based on at least one response to a first page message provided to the at least one mobile unit. The method also includes interrupting transmissions to the at least one mobile unit based on said at least one determined location of said at least one mobile unit.

Method of blocking alert messages to mobile units

The method and apparatus adaptively adjust a timer based at least on the frequency of transmitted/received packets and the traffic arrival pattern in a data session in the communication system. The expiration of the timer indicates to suspend the data session in the communication system.

Method and apparatus for system resource management in a communications system

A method of wireless communication. The method includes the step of broadcasting a message, such as channel list message, for example. The broadcasting message lists each available carrier for each available frequency band in the wireless communication spectrum&#x2014;e.g., 400 MHz and about 2100 MHz. Each available carrier listed within the message may correspond with at least one cell of a coverage area. Moreover, each broadcast message comprises at least one occurrence for each available carrier. Each available carrier may also be repeated within the message a number of times corresponding to a carrier weighting. This carrier weighting in turn corresponds with a traffic load. Alternatively, the method may also include the step of repeating the broadcast of the message a number of times, wherein the number corresponds to a carrier weighting associated with the traffic load. The broadcast message may also comprise a listing of at least one service, such as voice and/or data, supported by each available carrier.

Method of applying hashing algorithms in a wireless communication system

A wireless data network distinguishes among different users connected to the network and associates each user with a service class that offers a selected level of service. The base station in the network queries the user for its unique user identification code and accesses a database linking user identification codes with their corresponding services classes. The network then controls the service level given to that user based on the service class associated with the user identification code. The user identification code can be sent to the network via existing fields in current standards.
