Abstract:
1. A method for efficient connection setup procedure for mobile terminated calls comprising the steps of: reserving Access Sequences (ASs), by an Access Network (AN), and sending a page message along with a full unique Access Terminal Identifier (ATI) to an Access Terminal (AT) by using the reserved ASs; directing, by the AN, paged Access Terminals (ATs) to perform a network access attempt by using one of the reserved ASs; sending, by the AT, an access probe message of the AN in the form of a preamble using one of the reserved ASs; treating, by the AN, the access probe message as a ConnectionOpenRequest message when the access probe message with the one of the reserved ASs is received; sending, by the AN, Access Grant (AG) message in response to the access probe message; and stopping, by the AT, the network access attempt upon reception of the AG message by considering the AG message as a ConnectionOpenResponse.
