<p>To address the need for a method and apparatus to more efficiently facilitate dormant mode, packet data mobile handoffs, the present invention provides more efficient messaging between the BS (130) and MSC (115) involved in the handoff. Prior art messaging that provides for the establishment of a traffic channel for the MS (140) is streamlined in cases where a traffic channel is not needed. Also, connectionless messages are used to save the processing otherwise required to establish a connection between the BS and MSC. Thus, using the present invention, dormant mode, packet data mobile handoffs can be processed with less signaling and fewer system resources than by using the prior art.</p> |
