A method and apparatus for creating a semi-active state that reduces channel establishment delay. A communication channel between a mobile station ( 402 ) and a radio access network (RAN) ( 404 ). The communication channel has a semi-active state between the mobile station and the RAN by preassigning at least one resource to identify the communication channel. In To determine whether the channel is to be made active, the preassigned resource is monitor. When resource indicates that data is to be sent, the channel is converted from the semi-active state to an active state. Data is then transmitted over the communication channel in the active state.
