Enhanced private parameter capability in IS-41 messages
First Claim
1. In a wireless telecommunication system, a method of transmitting signaling messages among a plurality of entities, said signaling messages transmitted using a protocol having a standard portion for transmitting standard messages, and an extension portion for transmitting non-standard messages, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting standard messages, using the standard portion of the protocol;
assigning to each pair of communicating entities, an extended protocol;
communicating between pairs of entities, using the assigned extended protocol;
in response to receipt of a message outside the Standard protocol, determining the source of the message, and interpreting the message in accordance with the extended protocol assigned for communications between a source and recipient entity.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for communicating between entities of a wireless cellular telecommunications system in protocols extended from the standard IS-41 Protocols. In accordance with the invention, different pairs of entities can communicate using different extended protocol dialects. The extended protocol dialects can include extra operations codes, extra parameter identifiers, or both. The extended protocol between each pair of entities of the system is assigned, but can be changed by an appropriate message. Advantageously, the basic spectrum for extended protocols can be enlarged by allowing different extended protocols between different entities and/or by switching extended protocol dialects between specific entities.
