Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing call setup latency for a wireless device in a cellular network where the wireless device receives, stores, and analyzes base station overhead information to reduce the need to perform initialization after a call session terminates.
Claims40
A system for communicating data signals using a cellular network, comprising:
- a plurality of base stations coupled to the cellular network, each base station of the plurality of base stations including means for transmitting base station overhead information;
- and
- a wireless device coupled to the cellular network, the wireless device including:
- a) means for receiving the base station overhead information;
- b) means for storing the received base station overhead information;
- and
- c) means for processing the received base station overhead information to determine whether the received base station overhead information is current for one of the plurality of base stations after a call session is completed.
A wireless device for communicating data signals using a cellular network, the cellular network including a plurality of base stations coupled to the cellular network, comprising:
- a) means for receiving base station overhead information;
- b) means for storing the received base station overhead information;
- and
- c) means for processing the received base station overhead information to determine whether the received base station overhead information is current for one of the plurality of base stations after a call session is completed.
A method for a wireless device to communicate data signals in a cellular network, the cellular network including a plurality of base stations coupled to the cellular network, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving base station overhead information;
- b) storing the received base station overhead information;
- and
- c) processing the received base station overhead information to determine whether the received base station overhead information is current for one of the plurality of base stations after a call session is completed.
An article of manufacture for use in a wireless device communicating data signals in a cellular network, the cellular network including a plurality of base stations coupled to the cellular network, the article of manufacture comprising computer readable storage media including program logic embedded therein that causes control circuitry to perform the steps of:
- a) receiving base station overhead information;
- b) storing the received base station overhead information;
- and
- c) processing the received base station overhead information to determine whether the received base station overhead information is current for one of the plurality of base stations after a call session is completed.
