Abstract

A method of entering and processing in Access State, the method comprising, issuing a ControlChannelMAC.Activate command, issuing a SharedSignalingMAC.Activate command, issuing an AccessChannelMAC.Activate command, issuing a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.Activate command, issuing an OverheadMessages.Activate command, issuing an ActiveChannelMAC.AttemptAccess command, issuing an ActiveSetManagement.SendPilotReport command, setting a state timer for TIDPATSetup seconds, generating a ConnectionOpenRequest message if NumAccessAttempts is ‘0’, determining if the state timer has expired, determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessFailed indication is received; and determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessGrantReceived indication is received.

Claims

1. A method of entering and processing in Access State, the method comprising:

issuing a ControlChannelMAC.Activate command;

issuing a SharedSignalingMAC.Activate command;

issuing an AccessChannelMAC.Activate command;

issuing a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.Activate command;

issuing an OverheadMessages.Activate command;

issuing an ActiveChannelMAC.AttemptAccess command;

issuing an ActiveSetManagement.SendPilotReport command;

setting a state timer for T_IDPATSetup seconds;

generating a ConnectionOpenRequest message if NumAccessAttempts is ‘

0’

;

determining if the state timer has expired;

determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessFailed indication is received; and

determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessGrantReceived indication is received.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

setting internal variable NumAccessAttempts to ‘

0’

;

returning a ConnectionFailed indication; and

transitioning to a Sleep State,

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

increasing public data ConnectCount by 1;

issuing a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.Activate command;

issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Activate command; and

transition to the BindUATI State.

4. A computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon, comprising:

a set of instructions for issuing a ControlChannelMAC.Activate command;

a set of instructions for issuing a SharedSignalingMAC.Activate command;

a set of instructions for issuing an AccessChannelMAC.Activate command;

a set of instructions for issuing a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.Activate command;

a set of instructions for issuing an OverheadMessages.Activate command;

a set of instructions for issuing an ActiveChannelMAC.AttemptAccess command;

a set of instructions for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.SendPilotReport command;

a set of instructions for setting a state timer for T_IDPATSetup seconds;

a set of instructions for generating a ConnectionOpenRequest message if NumAccessAttempts is ‘

0’

;

a set of instructions for determining if the state timer has expired;

a set of instructions for determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessFailed indication is received; and

a set of instructions for determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessGrantReceived indication is received.

5. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

means for issuing a ControlChannelMAC.Activate command;

means for issuing a SharedSignalingMAC.Activate command;

means for issuing an AccessChannelMAC.Activate command;

means for issuing a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.Activate command;

means for issuing an OverheadMessages.Activate command;

means for issuing an ActiveChannelMAC.AttemptAccess command;

means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.SendPilotReport command;

means for setting a state timer for T_IDPATSetup seconds;

means for generating a ConnectionOpenRequest message if NumAccessAttempts is ‘

0’

;

means for determining if the state timer has expired;

means for determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessFailed indication is received; and

means for determining if AccessChannelMAC.AccessGrantReceived indication is received.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, further comprising means for setting internal variable NumAccessAttempts to ‘

0’

, returning a ConnectionFailed indication and transition to the Sleep State.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, further comprising means for increasing public data ConnectCount by 1, issuing a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.Activate command, issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Activate command and transition to the BindUATI State.
