DEDICATED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DELIVERY OF MANAGEMENT MESSAGES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

Techniques and systems for acknowledging management message reception in a wireless communication system can include operating a first radio station to generate a management message that contains a sequence number unique to the management message and to direct the management message to a second radio station; and operating the second radio station, after receiving the management message from the transmitter, to generate and transmit, before decoding the content of the received the management message, an acknowledgement to the transmitter identifying the received manage message by the sequence number unique to the management message.
