Method and apparatus for assigning wireless network packet resources to wireless terminals

A method in which a network apparatus 210 transmits a single assignment message comprising common assignment information directed to plural wireless terminals. The single transmitted assignment message can be used to enable channel assignment to be initiated for the plural wireless terminals, thus making more efficient use of the assignment message. This may be advantageous when a channel via which the assignment message is transmitted has a lower communication capacity than a channel via which the requests are received. In a GERAN communications system (100, FIG. 1), the effective capacity of the access grant channel can be doubled or tripled, acting to reduce congestion. This increases the probability of a wireless terminal receiving a response to a channel request which it sends. The probability of a successful data transfer following a channel request is thereby increased. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Asynchronous state engine with plug-ins for flexible application development

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an asynchronous state engine incorporated within a host application program. The state engine may operate based on a state transition table that may be updated independently of the host application. The state transition table may instruct the asynchronous state engine as to actions that should be performed prior to changing states. Such actions may include interacting with external applications. The state transition table may also instruct the host application to reside in a hold state until responses from external applications are received. Furthermore, the state transition table may instruct the host application as to follow up actions that should be performed when a state is entered. By allowing an external application to plug-in criteria for state changes within the host application, development of the host application may maintain a significant level of flexibility.
