First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication system comprising:
- an access network;
a plurality of access terminals, wherein the access network assigns the plurality of access terminals with a channel node, wherein the channel node comprises at least one base node; and
wherein the access network assigns a short ID with at least one user, wherein the short ID assignment is dynamic.
