Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing SelectedInterlace operation in open state in a wireless communication system is described. It is determined if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘1’ is sent. A SelectedInterlaceOn mode is entered. A shared signaling channel (SSCH) block is sent to an access terminal on a set of interlaces. It is determined if a SelectedInterlaceAckRequest message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘0’ is received.

Claims

1. A method of processing SelectedInterlace operation in open state in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

determining if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘

1’

is sent;

entering a SelectedInterlaceOn mode;

sending a shared signaling channel (SSCH) block to an access terminal on a set of interlaces; and

determining if a SelectedInterlaceAckRequest message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘

0’

is received.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that determining if a serving sector for the access terminal changes.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that entering a SelectedInterlaceOff mode.

4. A computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon, characterized in that:

a first set of instructions for determining if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘

1’

is sent;

a second set of instructions for entering a SelectedInterlaceOn mode;

a third set of instructions for sending a shared signaling channel (SSCH) block to an access terminal on a set of interlaces; and

a fourth set of instructions for determining if a SelectedInterlaceAckRequest message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘

0’

is received.

5. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

means for determining if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘

1’

is sent;

means for entering a SelectedInterlaceOn mode;

means for sending a shared signaling channel (SSCH) block to an access terminal on a set of interlaces; and

means for determining if a SelectedInterlaceAckRequest message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘

0’

is received.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5 characterized in that means for determining if a serving sector for the access terminal changes.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5 characterized in that means for entering a SelectedInterlaceOff mode.

8. A method of processing SelectedInterlace operation in open state in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

determining if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘

1’

is received;

entering a SelectedInterlaceOn mode; and

determining if a SelectedInterlacesAssignment message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘

0’

is received.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 characterized in that responding with a selectedInterlacesAck message.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8 characterized in that determining if a desired serving sector is not the same as a serving sector.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 characterized in that entering a SelectedInterlaceOff mode.

12. A computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon, characterized in that:

a first set of instructions for determining if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘

1’

is received;

a second set of instructions for entering a SelectedInterlaceOn mode; and

a third set of instructions for determining if a SelectedInterlacesAssignment message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘

0’

is received.

13. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

means for determining if a SelectedInterlaceResponse message with SelectedInterlaceEnabled set to ‘

1’

is received;

means for entering a SelectedInterlaceOn mode; and

means for determining if a SelectedInterlacesAssignment message with the SelectedInterlacesEnabled field equal to ‘

0’

is received.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 characterized in that means for responding with a selectedInterlacesAck message.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 characterized in that means for determining if a desired serving sector is not the same as a serving sector.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 15 characterized in that means for entering a SelectedInterlaceOff mode.
