METHOD, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS, FOR COMMUNICATING PACKET DATA IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for a radio, such as cellular, communication system (10) to facilitate communications between a mobile station (12) and the network infrastructure (48). When the mobile station (12) registers in the communication system (10), a dedicated reverse-link channel (34) is allocated to facilitate communications of packet data between the mobile station (12) and the network infrastructure (48). By providing dedicated channels, the mobile station (12) becomes functionally connected to the network infrastructure (48) and are analogous to a hard wired connection of a computer in a local area network.
