CONTINUATION CONTROL FOR WIRELESS PACKET DATA

摘要

In a wireless access network, a physical transmission link (301) is established on an over-the-air interface for the transmission of a user message (305) between the system and an end user. Upon the completion of the transmission of a first user message between the system and an end user, if another user message is ready to be transmitted between them, a continuation protocol (318) may be executed between the system and end user, for the subsequent user message transmission. The execution of the continuation protocol eliminates the need to release the established physical transmission link between them following the transmission of the first user message. Following the execution of the continuation protocol, a second user message is transmitted.
