Method and system for reducing connection set-up time

摘要

A method of connection setup in mobile wireless data communications systems is disclosed where the connection setup time is decreased for delay-sensitive communications sessions relative to the normal connection setup time for confidence-dependent communications sessions. This is achieved by performing some of the connection set-up steps for delay-sensitive communications sessions after successfully demodulating a smaller number of indications identifying an access terminal's desired serving resource than would be demodulated in the case of a confidence-dependent communication session prior to performing the same connection set-up steps.

主权项

1. A method of establishing a connection request comprising:
receiving a connection request for a communication session from an access terminal, wherein said connection request identifies a set of potential serving resources; determining whether said communication session is a delay sensitive session or a confidence dependent session; sending a resource allocation to said access terminal identifying an initial subset of said set of potential serving resources; receiving at least one indication identifying a desired serving resource; sending an acknowledgment signal confirming said desired serving resource after a first number of said at least one indication is successfully demodulated for a delay sensitive session; and sending an acknowledgment signal confirming said desired serving resource after a second number of said at least one indication is successfully demodulated for a confidence dependent session, wherein said first number is less than said second number.
