Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting an AccessParameters group message in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: employing a processor executing computer executable instructions embodied on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to perform operations comprising: generating the AccessParameters group message, the message comprising a 2 bit AccessCycle Duration field, wherein the AccessCycle Duration field indicates a duration of an access cycle in units of Control Segment Periods, a 5 bit AccessSequencePartition field, wherein the AccessSequencePartition field indicates a partition of an access sequence space to allow an access terminal to signal pilot power and buffer status information with an access sequence, a 4 bit MaxProbesPerSequence field, wherein the MaxProbesPerSequence field indicates a maximum number of probe sequence for one access sequence and is set to n+1, where n is an integer, a 4 bit ProbeRampUpStepSize field, wherein the ProbeRampUpStepSize field indicates a power ramp up used for probes within a probe sequence and is set to a value 0.5*(1+n)dB, a 6 bit RDCHInitialPacketFormat field, wherein the RDCHInitialPacketFormat field is set to a packet format that is used on a first transmission the access terminal makes on a Reverse Link Data Channel (R-DCH) after getting an access grant, a 2 bit PilotStrengthSegmentation field, wherein the PilotStrengthSegmentation field comprises a PilotThreshold1 and PilotThreshold2, an 8 bit OpenLoopAdjust field, wherein the OpenLoopAdjust field indicates a nominal power used by access terminal in an open loop power estimate and is set to value 70+n dB; and transmitting the AccessParameters group message over a communication link.
