First Claim
1. A base station subsystem (BSS) configured to interact with a plurality of mobile stations and perform a procedure to increase an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) capacity by minimizing an amount of mobile station specific information carried within an immediate assignment message, the BSS comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores processor-executable instructions where the processor interfaces with the memory and executes the processor-executable instructions to enable the following operations;
broadcast system information (SI) to the plurality of mobile stations, where the SI comprises an indicator which indicates to the plurality of mobile stations that the BSS is configured to perform the procedure;
in response to broadcasting the SI, receive multiple access requests from multiple mobile stations, where the multiple access requests indicate that each one the multiple mobile stations supports the procedure and are requesting to establish an uplink Temporary Block Flow (TBF) to transmit a small data transmission (SDT) or an instant message transmission (IMT);
in response to the received multiple access requests, send an immediate assignment message on the AGCH to the multiple mobile stations, where the immediate assignment message comprises at least a portion of static radio parameters and multiple instances of at least a portion of dynamic radio parameters; and
,send multiple instances of a remaining portion of the dynamic radio parameters in a message on a Packet Associated Control Channel (PACCH) to the multiple mobile stations addressed by the immediate assignment message, wherein each one of the multiple mobile stations are to use the at least a portion of static radio parameters, their respective instance of the at least a portion of dynamic radio parameters included in the immediate assignment message, and their respective instance of the remaining portion of the dynamic radio parameters when establishing the uplink TBF to transmit the SDT or IMT.
