Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and techniques can include using a mobile station identifier to identify a mobile station associated with a base station in wireless communications between the mobile station and the base station, using a connection identifier and the mobile station identifier to identify a connection between the mobile station and the base station; and transacting information with a radio station. The information can include the connection identifier, the mobile station identifier, and data associated with the connection.
Claims28
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- providing in a Media Access Control (MAC) layer connection address a mobile station identifier (MS ID) that represents and identifies a mobile station to a base station of a wireless network, each mobile station in communication with the base station being provided with a respective mobile station identifier;
- providing a connection identifier (CON ID) that identifies a connection between the mobile station and the base station to carry a data flow and is a separate identifier from the MS ID for the mobile station for communications with the base station, each connection between the mobile station and the base station being provided with a respective connection identifier;
- and
- using a combination address comprising the MS ID and the CON ID to represent the connection between the mobile station and the base station.
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- using a mobile station identifier to identify a mobile station associated with a base station in wireless communications between the mobile station and the base station;
- using a connection identifier and the mobile station identifier to identify a connection between the mobile station and the base station;
- and
- transacting information with a radio station, the information comprising the connection identifier, the mobile station identifier, and data associated with the connection.
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- transceiver electronics to communicate with one or more radio stations;
- and
- processor electronics, in communication with the transceiver electronics, configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- using a mobile station identifier to identify a mobile station associated with a base station in wireless communications between the mobile station and the base station;
- using a connection identifier and the mobile station identifier to identify a connection between the mobile station and the base station;
- and
- transacting information with a radio station, the information comprising the connection identifier, the mobile station identifier, and data associated with the connection.
A wireless communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of base stations configured to provide wireless service,
- each base station configured to use a mobile station identifier to identify a mobile station associated with the base station in wireless communications between the mobile station and the base station, use a connection identifier and the mobile station identifier to identify a connection between the mobile station and the base station, and transmit a signal to the mobile station, wherein the signal comprises the connection identifier, the mobile station identifier, and data associated with the connection.
