PRE-ALLOCATED RANDOM ACCESS IDENTIFIERS
First Claim
1. A method of processing random access identifiers, the method comprising:
- determining a set of random access identifiers;
designating at least a subset of random access identifiers from the set of random access identifiers as being allocatable random access identifiers;
selecting a first random access identifier from the subset of random access identifiers; and
assigning the first random access identifier to a subscriber station.

Abstract
Systems and methods of pre-allocating identifiers to wireless devices for use in requesting resources over a random access channel are described. A wireless communication system includes a random access channel over which wireless devices can anonymously send requests for resources. The base stations receiving and processing the anonymous requests reduces the probability of random access channel collisions and conserves the resources needed to support the anonymous requests by pre-allocating one or more identifiers to select wireless devices. The wireless devices having the pre-allocated codes can transmit a particular code over the random access channel as a request for resources that uniquely identifies the requester.
