In according with the teachings of the present invention, a method and apparatus for performing fast call set-up in a wireless network is presented (FIG. 2 ). A number of efficiencies are implemented to diminish the time required for establishing a call in a packet-based network. For example, call initiation ( 224 ) and Base Station Subsystem (BSS- 202 ) resource allocation are performed contemporaneously; radio link resources and packet resources are initiated contemporaneously ( 242 - 244 ); an A10 interface is established immediately after allocating and connecting packet control function (PCF) resources for a packet data session ( 246 ); and a service connection request ( 254 ) is performed immediately after a channel assignment process ( 250 ) is performed. |
