Abstract
A mobile station for wireless communication includes a control processor configured to generate a message for transmission on a reverse channel, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field. The first protocol revision field is for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field is for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision.
Claims18
A mobile station for wireless communication, the mobile station comprising:
- a control processor configured to generate a message for transmission on a reverse channel, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field, the first protocol revision field for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision.
A method of operating a mobile station, comprising:
- generating a message for transmission on a reverse channel, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field, the first protocol revision field for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision.
A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions when executed by the machine, cause the machine to perform operations in a mobile station comprising:
- generating a message for transmission on a reverse channel, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field, the first protocol revision field for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision.
A mobile station for wireless communication, the mobile station comprising:
- means for generating a message for transmission on a reverse channel, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field, the first protocol revision field for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision;
- and
- means for transmitting the message on the reverse channel.
A base station for wireless communication, the base station comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a message on a reverse channel from a mobile station, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field, the first protocol revision field for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision.
A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions when executed by the machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a message on a reverse channel from a mobile station, the message including a first protocol revision field and a second protocol revision field, the first protocol revision field for indicating a message format supported by the mobile station and the second protocol revision field for indicating a set of mandatory features supported by the mobile station, the set of mandatory features defined by a standards revision.
