APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO NETWORK IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for managing an uplink communication between a network and a plurality of terminals in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a parameter from the network to the plurality of terminals subscribing to a service, wherein the parameter is associated with controlling the uplink communication of the plurality of terminals;
applying the parameter to a predetermined test in at least one of the plurality of terminals;
responding to the network if the at least one of the plurality of terminals determines that the at least one of the plurality of terminals is qualified to respond to the network in response to a result of the predetermined test; and
evaluating whether the parameter needs to be transmitted to the plurality of terminals and whether the parameter needs to be updated based on at least part of responses received by the network.

Abstract
In a wireless communication system, an apparatus and method for managing an uplink communication between a network and a plurality of terminals is achieved by transmitting a response condition parameter from the network to the plurality of terminals subscribing to a multicast service. The parameter is associated with controlling the uplink communication of the plurality of terminals. The terminal then applies the response control parameter to a predetermined test and responds to the network if the terminal determines that it is qualified to respond to the network in response to a result of the predetermined test. The network evaluates whether the parameter needs to be transmitted to the plurality of terminals and whether the parameter needs to be updated based on at least part of responses received by the network.

9. A method for managing an uplink communication between a network and a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
decoding a radio channel to check presence of a parameter from the network for use in a particular process in the terminal, wherein the parameter is associated with controlling the uplink communication from the terminal that is subscribing to a service provided by the network; receiving the parameter from the radio channel; applying the parameter to a predetermined test in the terminal; determining whether the terminal is qualified to respond to the network in respond to a result of the predetermined test; responding to the network by sending a response message if the terminal is qualified to respond to the network; and repeating the above steps if the terminal is not qualified to respond to the network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
