Method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system
First Claim
1. A method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system, comprising:
- receiving, at an access network, an access request and a token from an access terminal, the token including at least one bit associated with a parameter group type, the bit indicating whether the access terminal is operating according to a predetermined default parameter group for the associated parameter group type;
sending information to and receiving information from the access terminal according to the predetermined default parameter group without negotiating parameters for the associated parameter group type when a portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according to the predetermined default parameter group for the associated parameter group type and the bit indicates the access terminal operates according to the predetermined default parameter group for the associated parameter group type.

Abstract
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 predetermined 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 predetermined 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 predetermined default parameter group for the associated parameter group type and the bit indicates the access terminal operates according to the predetermined default parameter group for the associated parameter group type. The access network also accesses its memory, when the bit indicates the access terminal is not operating according to the predetermined default parameter group, to obtain a stored parameter group of the associated parameter group type for the access terminal. The access network then sends information to and receives information from the access terminal according to the accessed parameter group of the associated parameter group type for the access terminal without negotiating a parameter group of the associated parameter group type when the portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according the accessed parameter group for the associated parameter group type.

receiving, at an access network, an access request and a token from an access terminal, the token including at least one bit associated with a parameter group type, the bit indicating whether the access terminal is operating according to a predetermined default parameter group for the associated parameter group type;
first accessing memory at the access network when the bit indicates the access terminal is not operating according to the predetermined default parameter group to obtain a stored parameter group of the associated parameter group type for the access terminal; and
sending information to and receiving information from the access terminal according to the accessed parameter group of the associated parameter group type for the access terminal 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 the accessed parameter group for the associated parameter group type. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
