MECHANISMS OF CONTROL HOLD OPERATION AND MAC_ID ASSIGNMENT FOR CDMA2000 1xEV-DV REVERSE ENHANCED HIGH-SPEED PACKET DATA CHANNEL

摘要

DISCLOSED HEREIN ARE METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INCORPORATION OF A REVERSE LINK CONTROL HOLD MODE AND MAC_ID ASSIGNMENT IN A EDMA2000 1xEV-DV COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM. THE TEACHINGS HEREIN PROVIDE FOR A REVERSE LINK CONTROL HOLD MODE FOR A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, WHEREIN A MOBILE STATION (2) USES AN R-PDCH CHANNEL WITH OR WITHOUT AN F-PDCH CHANNEL BEING ASSIGNED; ALTERNATIVELY, WHERE A MOBILE STATION USES A F-PDCH CHANNEL WITHOUT AN R-PDCH CHANNEL. A MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL IDENTIFICATION CODE (MAC_ID) ASSIGNED BY A BASE (1) STATION FROM A MAC_ID SPACE TO EACH ONE OF A PLURALITY OF MOBILE STATIONS; WHEREIN THE MAC_ID IS ASSIGNED IN AN ASCENDING (OR DESCENDING) ORDER FROM THE MAC_ID SPACE FOR A FIRST GROUP OF MOBILE STATIONS, AND WHEREIN THE MAC_ID IS ASSIGNED IN A DESCENDING (OR ASCENDING0 ORDER FROM THE MAC_ID SPACE FOR A SECOND GROUP OF MOBILE STATIONS.
