1. A method in a communication system comprising the steps of, at a user agent:
- receiving a configuration message from an access device;
where uplink time synchronization at the user agent has been lost when the configuration message is received, using at least a portion of the configuration message information to configure the user agent; and
after time synchronization has been restored, communicating with the access device.

5. A method in a communication system where a configuration message is received at a user agent and includes information indicating how the user agent should be configured to communicate with an access device, the method comprising the steps of, at a user agent:
-
receiving a configuration message from an access device; where uplink time synchronization at the user agent has been lost when the configuration message is received, using the configuration message information to configure the user agent; and suspending communication with the access device until time synchronization has been restored. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. An apparatus for use in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a user agent including a processor programmed to perform the steps of; receiving a configuration message from an access device; where uplink time synchronization at the user agent has been lost when the configuration message is received, using at least a portion of the configuration message information to configure the user agent; and after time synchronization has been restored, communicating with the access device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. An apparatus for use with a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a user agent including a processor programmed to perform the steps of; receiving a configuration message from an access device; where uplink time synchronization at the user agent has been lost when the configuration message is received and after time synchronization has been restored, using at least a portion of the configuration message information to configure the user agent, and communicating with the access device using the configuration received in the message.

12. A apparatus for use with a communication system where a configuration message is received at a user agent and includes information indicating how the user agent should be configured to communicate with an access device, the apparatus comprising:
-
a user agent including a processor programmed to perform the steps of; receiving a configuration message from an access device; where uplink time synchronization at the user agent has been lost when the configuration message is received, using the configuration message information to configure the user agent; and suspending communication with the access device until time synchronization has been restored. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
