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.

113. A base station, comprising:
-
a processor generating a temporary mobile station identifier during an access procedure involving a mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the temporary mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a first message received from the base station during the access procedure and generating a further mobile station identifier based on a global address of the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the further mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a second message received from the base station; and transmit circuitry configured to output the first and second messages to the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119)

120. A base station, comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, that when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; transmitting, to a mobile station, a temporary mobile station identifier during an access procedure involving the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the temporary mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a first message received from the base station during the access procedure; and transmitting, to the mobile station, a further mobile station identifier based on a global address of the mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses the further mobile station identifier to extract the contents of a second message received from the base station. - View Dependent Claims (121, 122, 123, 124, 125)
