Abstract

This invention increases the communication efficiency between the network and the mobile device by eliminating repetitive contents within one communication message in a wireless communication system. Meantime, this invention provides improvements while maintains the existing message data structure intact.

Claims

1. A method for increasing the channel communication efficiency between the network and the mobile device in a wireless communication system;
