Method and apparatus for supporting radio acknowledgement information for a uni-directional user data channel
First Claim
1. A communication system, including a radiotelephone device transmitting acknowledgement information to a network, comprising:
- a first acknowledgement coordination module, positioned within the network, transmitting an acknowledgement exchange message to the radiotelephone device indicating a mode for exchange of the acknowledgement information; and
a second acknowledgement coordination module, positioned within the radiotelephone device, transmitting the acknowledgement information to the network using the indicated mode, wherein the radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information along a main dedicated control channel in response to the indicated mode being the main dedicated control channel, wherein the radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information to the network using a temporary block flow acknowledgement interchange in response to at least one of the mode being other than the main dedicated control channel and the mode not being received, wherein the network determines the mode for exchange of the acknowledgement information based on resource availability of the network, and wherein the main dedicated control channel includes a defined service access point identifier corresponding to the acknowledgement information for transmission of the acknowledgement information through the main dedicated control channel.

Abstract
A radiotelephone device receiving network information, transmitted along a radio channel, from a network includes an acknowledgement coordination module determining a mode for exchange of acknowledgement information with the network. The radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information to the network through a main dedicated control channel, using a defined service access point identifier corresponding to transmission of the acknowledgement information through the main dedicated control channel, in response to the mode for exchange of acknowledgement information being the main dedicated control channel. The radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information to the network using a temporary block flow acknowledgement interchange in response to the mode for exchange of acknowledgement information being other than the main dedicated control channel.

8. A radiotelephone device receiving network information transmitted from a network along a radio channel, comprising:
-
an acknowledgement coordination module determining a mode for exchange of acknowledgement information with the network; and
a main dedicated control channel for transmitting signaling information to the network, wherein the radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information to the network through the main dedicated control channel in response to the mode for exchange of acknowledgement information being the main dedicated control channel, wherein the acknowledgement information is transmitted to the network using a temporary block flow acknowledgement interchange in response to at least one of the mode being other than the main dedicated control channel and the mode not being received, and wherein the main dedicated control channel includes a defined service access point identifier corresponding to the acknowledgement information for transmission of the acknowledgement information through the main dedicated control channel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
