  • Communicating system information in a wireless communication network
    Patent number: 8189522
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for communicating system information in a wireless communication network. A first step 200 includes defining unicast threshold parameter(s). A next step 201 includes receiving a request for system information. A next step 202, 204 includes determining if the system information exceeds the threshold parameter(s). A next step 206-216 includes scheduling an ad-hoc broadcast of the system information if the system information exceeds the threshold parameter(s). A next step 218 includes sending a pointer to the scheduled ad-hoc broadcast. A next step 220 includes broadcasting the network service provider information per the schedule.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for accessing and providing access to a packet channel
    Patent number: 6094429
    Abstract: A communications system (100) has a TDMA signal (110) accessed by one or more mobile stations (104). The TDMA signal carries both circuit switched and packet data service. A packet channel is defined within a packet data frame (208) by assigning time slots not used by other services during the packet data frame to the packet channel. A packet data seed channel (204) is used to anchor the packet channel and steer a mobile station to the packet channel. In the packet data seed channel a dynamic allocation protocol (DCAP) slot (206) appears and carries the packet channel slot assignments for the next occurring packet data frame.
