1. A mobile station apparatus in a wireless communication system for negotiating service configuration comprising:

  • a service negotiator adapted for generating a request message indicative of a proposed service configuration and for determining if a response message from a base station is indicative of a mutually acceptable service configuration;

    a multiplexer, coupled to said service negotiator, adapted for combining said request message with other information to produce a combined signal;

    a transmitter, coupled to said multiplexer, adapted for transmitting said combined signal to a base station;

    a receiver adapted for receiving, at the mobile station, a signal comprising the response message, indicative of a response to said proposed service configuration, and combined with additional information;

    a de-multiplexer for separating said response message from the additional information;

    an encoder, communicatively coupled to said multiplexer and said transmitter, adapted for encoding future data messages according to a service configuration selected by said service negotiator, wherein the service configuration is selected according to the mutually acceptable service configuration; and

    a decoder adapted for decoding future data messages in accordance with said mutually acceptable service configuration.
