Abstract
Abstract In a method of negotiating a service configuration in a communication system having first and second common channels shared by communication devices in the communication system, a request message indicative of a proposed service configuration is generated (20); the request message is transmitted (26) over the first common channel; an information data signal in accordance with the proposed service configuration is encoded if a response message is indicative of an acceptable service configuration; and the information data signal is encoded with a universal default service configuration if the response message is not indicative of an acceptable service configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A method of negotiating a service configuration in a
communication system having first and second common channels which are
shared by communication devices in said communication system, the
method comprising the steps of: generating a request message indicative of a proposed service
configuration; transmitting said request message over said first common
channel; encoding an information data signal in accordance with said
proposed service configuration if a response message is indicative of
an acceptable service configuration; and encoding said information data signal with a universal default
service configuration if said response message is not indicative of an
acceptable service configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A method according to Claim 1, wherein said request message is
generated in a first communication device and said transmitted request
message is received at a second communication device, the method
comprising the further steps of: receiving said transmitted request message at said second
communication device; determining, in said second communication device, whether said
proposed service configuration is acceptable to said second
communication device; generating, in said second communication device, a response
message in accordance with said determination; and transmitting said response message over said common channel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, in which said
request message is transmitted from a mobile station (6) over a random
access channel defining said first common channel.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
31 words
A method according to any of Claims 1 to 3, in which said
response message is transmitted from a base station (4) over a paging
channel defining said second common channel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, in which said
request message is transmitted from a base station (4) over a paging
channel defining said first common channel.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
33 words
A method according to any of Claims 1, 2 and 5, in which said
response message is transmitted from a mobile station (6) over a random
access channel defining said second common channel.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
34 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
response message is indicative of acceptance of said proposed service
configuration, rejection of said proposed service configuration, or
suggestion of an alternative service configuration.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
33 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
communication system is a wireless communication system and
communication within said wireless communication system is by means of
code division multiple access signals.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
22 words
A method according to any of Claims 1 to 5, in which said
response message is transmitted within a channel assignment message.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
18 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
service configuration provides a forward link multiplex option.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
18 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
service configuration provides a reverse link multiplex option.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
17 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
service configuration provides forward link transmission rates.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
17 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
service configuration provides reverse link transmission rates.
Claim 14
Independent Claim
16 words
A method according to any preceding claim, in which said
service configuration provides a service option.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
144 words
A communication device in a communication system having first
and second common channels which are shared by communication devices in
said communication system, the communication device comprising: a service negotiator for generating a request message
indicative of a proposed service configuration; a transmitter for transmitting said request message over said
first common channel; and an encoder, interposed between said service negotiator and
said transmitter, for encoding an information data signal in accordance
with a service configuration selected by said service negotiator; wherein said service negotiator directs said encoder to encode
said information data signal in accordance with said proposed service
configuration if a response message is indicative of an acceptable
service configuration, and wherein said service negotiator directs said
encoder to encode said information data signal with a universal default
service configuration if said response message is not indicative of an
acceptable service configuration.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
46 words
A communication device according to Claim 15, further
comprising a receiver for receiving a response message indicative of a
response to said proposed service configuration, and in which said
service negotiator is further for determining whether said response is
indicative of a mutually acceptable service configuration.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
35 words
A communication device according to Claim 16, further
comprising: a decoder, interposed between said service negotiator and said
receiver, for decoding a received signal in accordance with said
service configuration selected by said service negotiator.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
78 words
A communication device according to any of Claims 15 to 17, in
which said service negotiator is adapted to direct said decoder to
decode said received signal in accordance with said proposed service
configuration if said response message is indicative of an acceptable
service configuration, and said service negotiator is adapted to direct
said decoder to decode said received signal with a universal default
service configuration if said response message is not indicative of an
acceptable service configuration.
