1. A method comprising:

  • an access terminal receiving a user command to launch a particular communication application;

    the access terminal identifying a desired slot cycle index at least in part by determining, among a set of slot cycle indexes respectively associated with a set of communication applications, wherein the set of communication applications comprises the particular communication application, which slot cycle index is associated with the particular communication application;

    the access terminal sending a request message to an access node, requesting the desired slot cycle index;

    the access terminal negotiating with the access node to agree on a negotiated slot cycle index;

    wherein the negotiated slot cycle index is not equal to the desired slot cycle index, and wherein the negotiated slot cycle index is associated with a longer slot cycle than is the desired slot cycle index; and

    the access terminal, in response to the value of the negotiated slot cycle index, not launching the particular communication application.
