Abstract
Data is accessed from a network via a wireless communication link. A determination is made as to whether payload data has been received from a subscriber's terminal. If so, then a request is sent for a first set of traffic channels, and the payload data is transmitted over the first set of traffic channels.
Claims13
A method for accessing data from a network via a wireless communication link, the method comprising the steps of:
- at a subscriber transceiver in an idle mode when no channels are allocated for sending payload data, determining whether at least abortion of payload data has been received from a computer device, the payload data intended to be transmitted over the wireless communication link;
- in response to detecting a presence of the payload data, requesting use of a first set of traffic channels by sending a traffic channel allocation request message, the first set of traffic channels being used by the subscriber transceiver to transmit the payload data over the wireless communication link to a base station transceiver;
- transmitting a first portion of the payload data over a first traffic channel to the base station transceiver;
- and
- transmitting a second portion of the payload data over a second traffic channel to the base station transceiver.

A method for accessing data from a computer network via a wireless communication link, the method comprising the steps of:
- constructing a first set of traffic channels to transmit a data payload from a remote transceiver to a base station;
- at the base station, receiving a first portion of the data payload over a first traffic channel of the wireless communication link;
- at the base station receiving a second portion of the data payload over a second traffic channel of the wireless communication link;
- generating a message from the remote transceiver requesting a release of the first set of traffic channels after determining that the payload data has been transmitted to the base station;
- and
- after the at least one traffic channels is released, maintaining an idle mode between a remote transceiver and a base station without an allocation of traffic channels to support data payload transfers, the idle mode being supported by sending timing information over a low-bandwidth non-traffic channel.
