In a multiple access wireless system where a subscriber transmitter and subscriber receiver have been properly synchronized, a method of authentication of a subscriber comprising the steps of: a base station assigning a temporary slot in a control channel for a subscriber station; the subscriber station being switched to the control channel; the subscriber station receiving the temporary slot assignment in the control channel; the subscriber station sending to the base station an acknowledgement that the temporary slot assignment was received; and the subscriber station and the base station transferring a number of bi-directional authentication messages.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 96 words

In a multiple access wireless system where a subscriber transmitter and subscriber receiver have been properly synchronized, a method of authentication of a subscriber comprising the steps of: a base station assigning a temporary slot in a control channel for a subscriber station; the subscriber station being switched to the control channel; the subscriber station receiving the temporary slot assignment in the control channel; the subscriber station sending to the base station an acknowledgement that the temporary slot assignment was received; and the subscriber station and the base station transferring a number of bi-directional authentication messages.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 48 words

The method of claim 1 , wherein the base station posts a temporary slot assignment notificiation in the control channel and wherein a timeout occurs if the subscriber station does not send the acknowledgment within a predetermined amount of time after the temporary slot assignment notification is posted.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 29 words

The method of claim 1 , wherein a subscriber station is locked out if either the subscriber station or the base station does not receive the bi-directional authentication messages.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 29 words

The system of claim 1 , wherein the temporary slot assignment becomes permanent when the bidirectional authentication messages are successfully received by the base station and the subscriber station.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 26 words

The method of claim 1 , wherein the subscriber station sends the acknowledgment of the temporary slot assignment to the base station via the temporary slot.

Claim 7

Independent Claim 149 words

A method for establishing an incoming telecommunication service via a base station to a subscriber, the method comprising the steps of: at the base station, rejecting the telecommunication service when the subscriber is active, and further rejecting the telecommunication service when all traffic channels are in use; and when the subscriber is inactive and all of the traffic channels are not in use, removing at least one channel from a pool of idle traffic channels, sending an incoming telecommunication service message from the base station to the subscriber in a control channel, confirming receipt of the incoming telecommunication service message by the subscriber to the base station in the control channel, switching the subscriber to the removed traffic channel, synchronizing the subscriber station to a radio overhead channel, and transferring a number of bi-directional control messages between the subscriber station and the base station on the removed traffic channel.

Claim 8

Independent Claim 149 words

A method for establishing an incoming telecommunication service via a base station to a subscriber, the method comprising the steps of: at the base station, rejecting the telecommunication service when the subscriber is active, and further rejecting the telecommunication service when all traffic channels are in use; and when the subscriber is inactive and all of the traffic channels are not in use, removing at least one channel from a pool of idle traffic channels, sending an incoming telecommunication service message from the base station to the subscriber in a control channel, confirming receipt of the incoming telecommunication service message by the subscriber to the base station in the control channel, switching the subscriber to the removed traffic channel, synchronizing the subscriber station to a radio overhead channel, and transferring a number of bi-directional control messages between the subscriber station and the base station on the removed traffic channel.

Claim 9

Dependent Claim 22 words

A method as in claim 6 , wherein the confirmation is sent on an available FAST response slot of the control channel.

Claim 10

Dependent Claim 15 words

A method as in claim 6 , wherein the confirmation is sent a second time.

Claim 11

Dependent Claim 24 words

A method as in claim 6 , wherein, after confirmation, the base station initiates control and radio overhead messages on the removed traffic channel.

Claim 12

Dependent Claim 31 words

A method as in claim 6 , further comprising the step of sending a busy signal to a telecommunication network originating the incoming telecommunication service when incoming telecommunication service establishment fails.

Claim 13

Dependent Claim 18 words

A method as in claim 6 , wherein the telecommunication service includes, voice, data, multimedia or video services.

Claim 14

Dependent Claim 28 words

A method as in claim 6 , wherein a plurality of CDMA channels from the pool of idle traffic channels are concatenated into a high data rate hyperchannel.

Claim 15

Dependent Claim 16 words

A method as in claim 6 , wherein the telecommunication service includes local area network services.

Claim 16

Independent Claim 97 words

A method for establishing an outgoing telecommunication service via a base station from a subscriber, the method comprising the steps of: a subscriber station sending a message in a subscriber access channel to a base station that an outgoing telecommunication service is desired; the base station removing at least one traffic channel from a pool of idle traffic channels; a subscriber station switching to a removed traffic channel; the subscriber station synchronizing to a radio overhead channel; and the subscriber station and the base station transferring a number of bi-directional control messages on the removed traffic channel.

Claim 17

Independent Claim 97 words

A method for establishing an outgoing telecommunication service via a base station from a subscriber, the method comprising the steps of: a subscriber station sending a message in a subscriber access channel to a base station that an outgoing telecommunication service is desired; the base station removing at least one traffic channel from a pool of idle traffic channels; a subscriber station switching to a removed traffic channel; the subscriber station synchronizing to a radio overhead channel; and the subscriber station and the base station transferring a number of bi-directional control messages on the removed traffic channel.

Claim 18

Dependent Claim 28 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein prior to sending a message that an outgoing telecommunication service is desired, the subscriber station is in a standby mode.

Claim 19

Dependent Claim 30 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein sending a message that an outgoing telecommunication service is desired is performed on a next available slot of the subscriber access channel.

Claim 20

Dependent Claim 21 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein the base station removes a channel from the pool of idle traffic channels.

Claim 21

Dependent Claim 22 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein the base station posts a busy message if there are no available traffic channels.

Claim 22

Dependent Claim 19 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein the base station posts a message that a channel is available.

Claim 23

Dependent Claim 28 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein the base station and subscriber station transmit messages on the removed traffic channel to set up the outgoing telecommunication service.

Claim 24

Dependent Claim 47 words

The method as in claim 14 , wherein when the base station transmits a message on a removed traffic channel to set up the outgoing telecommunication service and the subscriber station does not respond within a predetermined amount of time, then the outgoing telecommunication service is denied.

Claim 25

Dependent Claim 18 words

A method as in claim 14 , wherein the telecommunication service includes, voice, data, multimedia or video services.

Claim 26
