CEASING TRANSMISSION OF DATA RATE CONTROL INFORMATION IN A CDMA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WHEN THE MOBILE STATION TRANSITS TO THE IDLE OPEN STATE

摘要

In a communication system, a method and an apparatus provide for efficient communications of data rate control information. A mobile station communicates a request on a data channel for reception of a data file on a traffic channel. In response to the request, a transmitter in mobile station starts communication of data rate control information on a data rate control channel. After concluding the delivery of a requested data file by a receiver in mobile station, transmitter ceases communication of data rate control information on data rate control channel from mobile station.
