Method and apparatus for call setup latency reduction
First Claim
1. A method for call setup in a wireless communication system comprising:
- classifying fields in an origination message into three classes;
not needed, may be needed, and needed;
eliminating fields that are specific to voice calls from the origination message to generate a reconnect message, wherein the fields that are specific to voice calls are classified as not needed;
and sending to a base station the reconnect message activating a dormant packet data call.

Abstract
Techniques for minimizing call setup latency are disclosed. In one aspect, a channel assignment message is sent with a flag to direct the use of previously negotiated service parameters. This aspect eliminates the need for service negotiation messages. In another aspect, a channel assignment message is sent with an active set identifier instead of an active set and its parameters. This aspect reduces the transmission time of the channel assignment message. In yet another aspect, call setup without paging is facilitated by a mobile station (106) sending a pilot strength measurement message between active communication sessions, such that a channel assignment message can be used for mobile station terminated call setup without the need for mobile station paging and related messages.

18. A method for reducing call setup latency associated with reconnecting a dormant packet data call comprising:
-
establishing a packet data call; determining that the packet data call has entered a dormant state; storing service configuration information while the packet data call is in the dormant state; determining, when the packet data call is in the dormant state, that the packet data call should be reconnected; classifying fields in an origination message into three classes;
not needed, may be needed, and needed;eliminating fields that are specific to voice calls from the origination message to generate a reconnect message, wherein the fields that are specific to voice calls are classified as not needed; and sending the reconnect message to a base station, wherein the reconnect message is sent to the base station in response to determining that the packet data call should be reconnected, wherein the reconnect message does not include more than the minimum required fields for reconnecting the packet data call, wherein the reconnect message comprises a field that indicates which stored parameter set is to be used, wherein the reconnect message does not comprise parameters that were negotiated during setup of the packet data call.
