Abstract
Mobile station applications () may include an SI unit () for piggy backing SI onto data stored in data buffer () and also for adding an indicator to the SI information. The scheduling information and/or incremental control information () is piggy backed onto a data PDU and also has a sequence number () and an indicator field () which is added by the SI unit, such as SI unit (), in accordance with the embodiments. The indicator may be a bit map having four bit positions. A bit position having a binary '1' value may be utilized to indicate that a previous SN of SI information remains valid. For example, '0100' of the bit map sequence may indicate that SN #is still valid. The base station or controller may then determine whether to implement or discard an SI information having the indicated SN.
