METHOD FOR UPDATING AND MANAGING SYNCHRONIZATION IDENTIFIER BY USING RELEASE MESSAGES OR STATUS REQUEST AND RESPONSE

摘要

A method for communicating additional network information using a synchronization identifier is presented. A synchronization identifier is defined. The synchronization identifier is used for the purpose of synchronizing communication between a Mobile Station (MS) and a network. In addition, the synchronization identifier is used to define additional functionality in the wireless network. As such, the synchronization identifier may be used to communicate information about wireless services and/or wireless components between the MS and the network.
