SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FAST INITIAL NETWORK LINK SETUP
First Claim
1. A method of reducing signaling during link setup in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a device, at least two different access request messages each for establishing a link with the device;
determining a period of time for transmitting access response messages in response to the received access request messages;
reserving a period of transmission time on a channel for transmitting the access response messages for establishing the link, the reservation based at least in part on the determined period of time; and
transmitting the access response messages during the reserved period of time.

Abstract
Systems and methods for communicating in a wireless communication system are described. Various processes for reducing the initial link set up time are described. In one aspect, a method in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, at a device, at least two different access request messages each for establishing a link with the device. The method further includes determining a period of time for transmitting access response messages in response to the received access request messages. The method further includes reserving a period of transmission time on a channel for transmitting the access response messages for establishing the link, the reservation based at least in part on the determined period of time. The method further includes transmitting the access response messages during the reserved period of time.

20. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor of an apparatus in a wireless communication system, the instructions causing the apparatus to:
-
receive at least two different access request messages each for establishing a link with the apparatus; determine a period of time for transmitting access response messages in response to the received access request messages; reserve a period of transmission time on a channel for transmitting the access response messages to establish the link, the reservation based at least in part on the determined period of time; and transmit the access response messages during the reserved period of time.
