Medium access control for wireless systems
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- at a base station;
generating a temporary mobile station identifier for a mobile station;
transmitting, to the mobile station, the temporary mobile station identifier during an access procedure involving the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the temporary mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a first message received from the base station during the access procedure; and
transmitting, to the mobile station, a further mobile station identifier based on a global address of the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the further mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a second message received from the base station.

Abstract
A method for execution by a mobile station (MS) in a mobile communications network, the method comprising: receiving a first MS identifier from the network during a ranging operation involving the MS; using the first MS identifier to extract the contents of at least one message received from the network during said ranging operation; using a second MS identifier, different from the first MS identifier, to extract the contents of at least one message received from the network after said ranging operation is complete. Also, a method for execution by the base station, comprising: outputting a first message destined for the MS, the first message including a first identifier for use by the MS during a ranging operation; determining that said ranging operation is complete; outputting a second message destined for the MS, the second message including a second identifier for use by the MS in subsequent communication with the network.

16. A base station, comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, that when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; generating a temporary mobile station identifier for a mobile station; transmitting, to the mobile station, the temporary mobile station identifier during an access procedure involving the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the temporary mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a first message received from the base station during the access procedure; and transmitting, to the mobile station, a further mobile station identifier based on a global address of the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the further mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a second message received from the base station. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
