1. A method for operating a mobile station, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the mobile station to a serving controller, a first message, wherein the first message comprises an incremental bandwidth request; receiving, by the mobile station from the serving controller, a second message responsive to the first message, wherein the second message comprises an indicator indicating that a target controller, previously not having resources allocated to the mobile station, has allocated resources for the mobile station at least equal to an actual total bandwidth required by the mobile station as computed by the serving controller; and initiating, by the mobile station, a handover with the target controller and the serving controller without receiving an allocation of the actual total bandwidth from the serving controller.
