A method for providing mobile station control of data transmission rates in the wireless network is provided. The method includes transmitting data transmission rate (DTR) data from a base station to a mobile station. The DTR data comprises a first Walsh cover that is different from a second Walsh cover that identifies the base station. A DTR request is received from the mobile station at the base station. The DTR request comprises the first Walsh cover. A data transmission rate from the base station to the mobile station is reduced based on the DTR request.

A method for providing a base station-assigned public long code mask (PLCM) for a wireless communication device is provided that includes generating a base transceiver subsystem (BTS) identifier for a base transceiver subsystem. A reusable wireless communication device (WCD) identifier is generated for the wireless communication device when the wireless communication device communicates with the base transceiver subsystem. A PLCM that includes the BTS identifier and the WCD identifier is assigned to the wireless communication device.

A message transmitted from a base station to a plurality of mobile stations in a wireless network providing broadcast multicast services includes one or more fields providing configuration information associated with multicast services deployed on each frequency in the coverage area of the base station and a flag indicating whether the message includes all of the one or more fields or only select ones of the one or more fields having updated configuration information.

Apparatus and method for reducing paging channel loading for broadcast multicast services in a wireless network

For use in a wireless network, a mobile station that can selectively use the reduced slot cycle mode under the control of a first wireless network base station. The mobile station comprises: 1) a message controller for communicating in a paging channel with the first base station; and 2) a reduced slot cycle controller coupled to the message controller for causing the message controller to transmit to the first base station a first Release Order message comprising a minimum reduced slot cycle index (SCI) value requested by the mobile station. The reduced slot cycle controller is further capable of receiving from the first base station a second Release Order message comprising a selected slot cycle index (SCI) value at which the mobile station will operate.

A wireless network base station for controlling use of the reduced slot cycle mode by a selected mobile station communicating with the base station. The base station comprises: 1) a message controller for transmitting a Page message to a first mobile station notifying the first mobile station that a data session between the base station and the first mobile station is being activated; and 2) a reduced slot cycle controller coupled to the message controller for receiving from the first mobile station a Page Response message comprising a minimum reduced slot cycle index (SCI) value requested by the first mobile station. The reduced slot cycle controller, in response to receipt of the Page Response message, causes the message controller to transmit to the first mobile station a Release Order message comprising a selected slot cycle index (SCI) value at which the first mobile station will operate.

A handoff mechanism for a mobile station and wireless network preferably operating in a Z&#xd7;EV-DV mode, using scalable traffic channels where Z is a multiple of a 1&#xd7;EV-DV channel, including a distance-based handoff. The disclosed handoff mechanism can be used in conventional wireless telecommunications systems.
