Method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system
First Claim
1. A method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system, comprising:
- receiving, at an access network, an access request and a token from an access terminal, the token including a plurality of bits, each bit of the plurality of bits associated with a different type of protocol, such that each bit indicates whether the access terminal is operating according to a default protocol for the associated type of protocol;
sending information to and receiving information from the access terminal according to the default protocol without negotiating parameters for the associated type of protocol and without sending the parameters for the associated type of protocol to the access terminal when a portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according to the default protocol for the associated type of protocol and a bit of the plurality of bits indicates the access terminal operates according to the default protocol for the associated type of protocol.

Abstract
In the method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system, an access network receives an access request and a token from an access terminal. The token includes at least one bit associated with a parameter group type, and the bit indicates whether the access terminal is operating according to a default parameter group for the associated parameter group type. The access network sends information to and receives information from the access terminal according to the default parameter group without negotiating a parameter group of the associated parameter group type when a portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according to the default parameter group for the associated parameter group type and the bit indicates the access terminal operates according to the default parameter group for the associated parameter group type.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at an access network, an access request and a token from an access terminal, the token including a plurality of bits, each bit of the plurality of bits associated with a different type of protocol, such that each bit indicates whether the access terminal is operating according to default protocol for the associated type of protocol, the access terminal having a first parameter set for the associated type of protocol; first accessing memory at the access network when a bit of the plurality of bits indicates the access terminal is not operating according to the default protocol in an attempt to obtain a stored protocol of the associated type of protocol for the access terminal, the stored protocol indicating the first parameter set for the associated type of protocol; and sending information to the access terminal according to the stored protocol of the associated type of protocol for the access terminal when a portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according to the stored protocol for the associated type of protocol. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19)

16. A method for configuration negotiation in a data communication system, comprising:
-
storing protocols of at least one type of protocol previously established between an access network and an access terminal; receiving, at the access network, an access request and a token from the access terminal, the token including a plurality of bits, each bit of the plurality of bits associated with a different type of protocol, such that each bit indicates whether the access terminal is operating according to a default protocol for the associated type of protocol; sending information to and receiving information from the access terminal according to the default protocol without negotiating parameters for the associated type of protocol and without sending the parameters for the associated type of protocol to the access terminal when a portion of the access network communicating with the access terminal operates according to the default protocol for the associated one of the parameter group types and a bit of the plurality of bits indicates the access terminal operates according to the default protocol for the associated type of protocol.
