Method and apparatus for controlling how a receiver responds to a message
First Claim
1. A method for controlling how a receiver responds to a message received in a radio communication system, the method comprising in a controller of the radio communication system the step of:
- transmitting a message element and an indication of a signal quality threshold corresponding to the message element; and
the method further comprising in the receiver the steps of;
receiving the message element and the indication of the signal quality threshold corresponding thereto;
measuring a received signal quality experienced while receiving the message element; and
completing a negative response to the message when the received signal quality is worse than the signal quality threshold, and a positive response to the message when the received signal quality is not worse than the signal quality threshold, wherein the message element is defined as one of (a) the message in its entirety and (b) a portion of the message.

Abstract
A method and apparatus transmit (502) from a controller (112) a message element (416) and an indication (418) of a signal quality threshold corresponding to the message element. A receiver (122) receives (504) the message element and the corresponding indication of the signal quality threshold, and measures (506) a received signal quality experienced while receiving the message element. The receiver completes (512, 514) a negative response to the message when the received signal quality is worse than the signal quality threshold, and a positive response to the message when the received signal quality is not worse than the signal quality threshold. The message element is defined as one of (a) the message in its entirety and (b) a portion of the message.

11. A receiver having a controlled response to a message received in a radio communication system, the receiver comprising:
-
a receiver circuit for receiving a message element and an indication of a signal quality threshold corresponding to the message element; and a processing system coupled to the receiver circuit for measuring a received signal quality experienced while receiving the message element, wherein the processing system is programmed to complete a negative response to the message when the received signal quality is worse than the signal quality threshold, and to complete a positive response to the message when the received signal quality is not worse than the signal quality threshold, and wherein the message element is defined as one of (a) the message in its entirety and (b) a portion of the message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A controller for controlling how a receiver responds to a message received in a radio communication system, the controller comprising:
-
a network interface for receiving the message from a message originator; a processing system coupled to the network interface for processing the message, wherein the processing system is programmed to transmit an index utilized by the receiver for selecting an entry in a table in the receiver to determine therefrom at least one signal quality threshold corresponding to at least one portion of the message; and a transmitter interface coupled to the processing system for controlling a transmitter to transmit a message element and an indication of a signal quality threshold corresponding to the message element, wherein the message element is defined as one of (a) the message in its entirety and (b) a portion of the message.
