1. A method for operating a wireless communication system having packet data capabilities, comprising:
- sending a message from a mobile station to a network on a same physical channel that is used to transmit data, packets, the message specifying individual ones of packet system information (PSI) messages that are required by the mobile station; and
in response to receiving the message, sending only the specified individual ones of the PSI messages from the network to the mobile station over the same physical channel used to transmit the data packets,wherein the message is a PACKET PSI STATUS message, and wherein the mobile station, for each specified PSI message type in the PACKET PSI STATUS message, sets each of a PSIx COUNT field and an Instance Bitmap field to zero.
