MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL FOR WIRELESS SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a mobile station in a mobile communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a first mobile station identifier from the network during a ranging operation involving the mobile station;
using the first mobile station identifier to extract the contents of at least one message received from the network during said ranging operation;
using a second mobile station identifier, different from the first mobile station identifier, to extract the contents of at least one message received from the network after said ranging operation is complete.

Abstract
A method for execution by a mobile station (MS) in a mobile communications network, the method comprising: receiving a first MS identifier from the network during a ranging operation involving the MS; using the first MS identifier to extract the contents of at least one message received from the network during said ranging operation; using a second MS identifier, different from the first MS identifier, to extract the contents of at least one message received from the network after said ranging operation is complete. Also, a method for execution by the base station, comprising: outputting a first message destined for the MS, the first message including a first identifier for use by the MS during a ranging operation; determining that said ranging operation is complete; outputting a second message destined for the MS, the second message including a second identifier for use by the MS in subsequent communication with the network.

59. A mobile station comprising:
-
receive circuitry configured for receiving messages from a network, at least one of the messages received during a ranging operation and comprising a first mobile station identifier; a processing entity configured for extracting the contents of at least one message received from the network during said ranging operation based on the first mobile station identifier and for extracting the contents of at least one message received from the network after said ranging operation is complete based on a second mobile station identifier different from the first mobile station identifier.
