Claim:
1. A method for establishing a protocol entity in a convergence protocol layer of a first wireless station such that the protocol entity in the convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station and a protocol entity in a convergence protocol layer of a second wireless station correspond, comprising: receiving a configuration request from the second wireless station that requests configuration of the protocol entity in the first wireless station within the convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station, wherein a radio bearer setup message includes the configuration request; and in response to receiving the protocol entity configuration request, configuring the protocol entity in the convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station so that the protocol entity has a one-to-one relationship with a radio bearer and is identified by a protocol entity ID, wherein the convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station is capable of supporting multiple protocol entities and the protocol entity ID identifies the protocol entity from any other protocol entity that may be configured in the convergence protocol layer.
