1. A method comprising:
- an access node negotiating a first session with a first access terminal, wherein negotiating the first session with the first access terminal comprises negotiating a comprehensive set of two or more personalities with the first access terminal for the first session;
the access node recording a first list of personalities actually used by the first access terminal for engaging in at least one packet flow during the first session, wherein the first list of personalities makes up a first subset of the comprehensive set of personalities, wherein the first subset consists of one or more but not all of the personalities in the comprehensive set; and
the access node negotiating a second session with the first access terminal, wherein negotiating the second session with the first access terminal comprises negotiating only the first subset of personalities with the first access terminal for the second session.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for implementing predictive personality negotiation during session negotiation. In an embodiment, an EV-DO access node negotiates a first session with an access terminal, which involves negotiating a comprehensive set of personalities with the access terminal for the first session. The access node then records a list of personalities actually used by the access terminal during the first session. That list is a subset of the comprehensive set. The access node then negotiates a second session with the access terminal, which involves negotiating only that subset of personalities with the access terminal for the second session.

15. A method comprising:
-
an access node negotiating a first session with an access terminal, wherein negotiating the first session with the access terminal comprises negotiating a first set of two or more personalities with the access terminal for the first session; the access node recording a list of personalities actually used by the access terminal for engaging in at least one packet flow since negotiating the first session with the access terminal, wherein the list of personalities makes up a subset of the first set of personalities, wherein the subset consists of one or more but not all of the personalities in the first set; and the access node negotiating a second session with the access terminal, wherein negotiating the second session with the access terminal comprises negotiating only the subset of personalities with the access terminal for the second session.
