determining, at the device, allowable transmission resources for the first connection based at least partially on a difference between the indication corresponding to the available transmission resources of the client device and resources to be used by the client device for a second connection between the client device and the network, wherein determining the allowable transmission resources occurs before the second connection is requested; and providing, from the device, a response indicating the allowable transmission resources for the first connection before the second connection is requested. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the available transmission resources correspond to data transmission capabilities of the client device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the available transmission resources correspond to a guaranteed bit rate (GBR). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the available transmission resources correspond to a maximum number of multislots (MSMax) of the client device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the MSMax of the client device is the number of packet data channels (PDCHs) that the client device can operate in parallel. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the MSMax comprises a range from 1 to 8. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the available transmission resources corresponds to a supported bit rate of the client device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the available transmission resources correspond to hardware capabilities of the client device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the device is part of a 2G or 3G mobile radio system. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first connection and the second connection are packet-switched and/or circuit-switched connections. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first connection and the second connection are used in a Dual Transfer Mode that comprises a packet-switched connection as the first connection and a circuit-switched connection as the second connection. ### Claim 13 A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions operable to cause a processor to: receive an indication corresponding to available transmission resources of a client device for establishing a first connection between the client device and a network; determine allowable transmission resources for the first connection based at least partially on a difference between the indication corresponding to the available transmission resources of the client device and resources to be used by the client device for a second connection between the client device and the network, wherein determining the allowable transmission resources occurs before the second connection is requested; and provide a response indicating the allowable transmission resources for the first connection before the second connection is requested. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the computer-readable medium is part of a device in a wireless communication system. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the wireless communication system comprises a 2G or 3G mobile radio system. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the first connection and the second connection are packet-switched and/or circuit-switched connections. ### Claim 17 An apparatus comprised in a wireless communication system, comprising: a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions operable to cause the processor to: receive an indication corresponding to available transmission resources of a client device for establishing a first connection between the client device and a network; determine allowable transmission resources for the first connection based at least partially on a difference between the indication corresponding to the available transmission resources of the client device and resources to be used by the client device for a second connection between the client device and the network, wherein determining the allowable transmission resources occurs before the second connection is requested; and provide a response indicating the allowable transmission resources for the first connection before the second connection is requested. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the wireless communication system comprises a 2G or 3G mobile radio system. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first connection and the second connection are packet-switched and/or circuit-switched connections. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first connection and the second connection are used in a Dual Transfer Mode that comprises a packet-switched connection as the first connection and a circuit-switched connection as the second connection.
