Method and apparatus for fast link setup in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method for a communication system comprising:
- receiving a notification message from a base station, the notification message informing a base station controller of a mobile station in process of establishing a radio link with the base station;
starting a timer at the base station controller for measuring elapsed time after receiving the notification message indicating that the mobile station is in process of establishing a radio link; and
transmitting a radio link release message from the base station controller to the base station in response to detecting expiration of the timer with respect to a timer threshold, the timer expiration indicating failure of the mobile station to acquire a channel from the base station within the timer threshold.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for a communication system provide for fast link setup for a mobile station by transmitting a request message, transmitting an assignment message from the base station to the mobile station, and transmitting a notification message from the base station to a base station controller. The mobile station transmits an indication message to the base station controller indicating a successful completion of acquiring the data packet channel. The base station controller processes the indication message for message integrity and security feature. A portion of the available communication resources at the base station is allocated for an immediate response to the request message for acquiring a data packet channel.

12. An apparatus for a communication system, comprising:
at least one processor operative to receive a notification message from a base station, the notification message informing a base station controller of a mobile station in process of establishing a radio link with the base station, to start a tinier at the base station controller for measuring elapsed time after receiving the notification message indicating that the mobile station is in process of establishing a radio link, and to send a radio link release message from the base station controller to the base station in response to detecting expiration of the timer with respect to a timer threshold, the timer expiration indicating failure of the mobile station to acquire a channel from the base station within the timer threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for a communication system, comprising instructions for
receiving a notification message from a base station, the notification message informing a base station controller of a mobile station in process of establishing a radio link with the base station; -
starting a timer at the base station controller for measuring elapsed time after receiving the notification message indicating that the mobile Station is in process of establishing a radio link; and sending a radio link release message from the base station controller to the base station in response to detecting expiration of the timer with respect to a timer threshold, the timer expiration indicating failure of the mobile station to acquire a channel from the base station within the timer threshold.
