Abstract:
1. A method for allocating a temporary identifier to an access terminal (AT) moving from a source subnet to a destination subnet in a high-speed data dedicated system, comprising the steps of: transmitting a temporary-identifier allocation completion message from the AT to the destination subnet when the AT moves to the destination subnet while performing a temporary-identifier allocation procedure with the source subnet; transmitting a temporary-identifier allocation completion request message to the source subnet when the destination subnet receives the temporary-identifier allocation completion message from the AT; transmitting a temporary-identifier allocation completion response message from the source subnet to the destination subnet in response to the temporary-identifier allocation completion request message; and allocating a new temporary identifier for the AT at the destination subnet in response to the temporary-identifier allocation completion response message, and transmitting a temporary-identifier allocation completion acknowledgement message to the AT.
