Abstract
Communications are established between an originating mobile station (104) and a target mobile station (120) in an expedited manner. An initial short packet is transmitted from an originating mobile station (104) and the initial short packet is translated into an Internet Protocol (IP) packet. The IP packet is transmitted to a target Packet Control Unit (PCU) (116). An acknowledgment IP packet is responsively received from the target mobile station (120) via the target PCU (116) and a communication link is established between the originating mobile station (104) and the target mobile station (120).

6. A method of establishing and expediting communications between an originating mobile station and a target mobile station comprising:
-
receiving an initial IP packet at a target PCU and responsively translating the initial IP packet at the target PCU into a short packet;
transmitting the short packet to the target mobile station;
receiving an acknowledgement from the target mobile station; and
responsive to receiving the acknowledgement from the target mobile station, generating a response IP packet based at least in part upon the contents of the initial IP packet, sending the response IP packet to the originating mobile station, and establishing a communication link between the originating mobile station and the target mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A Packet Control Unit (PCU) comprising:
-
a receiver having an input for receiving an initial short packet from an originating mobile station;
a transmitter having an output; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the controller programmed to receive the initial short packet from the originating mobile station at the input of the receiver and to translate the initial short packet into an IP packet, the controller further programmed to transmit the IP packet to a target PCU at the output of the transmitter, the controller further programmed to receive at the input of the receiver a acknowledgment IP packet from the target mobile station and to subsequently establish a communication link between the originating mobile station and the target mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19)
