SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING WHEN TO ANSWER INCOMING PACKET DATA CALLS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for determining when to respond to an incoming packetized data call generated from a base station in a wireless communication network. The system includes a communication device MT2 for interfacing with a wireless communication network, and a terminal device TE2 electronically connected with a communication device capable of transmitting and receiving packetized data. The communication device MT2 responds to the incoming packetized data call from the base station in response to detecting the control information or control signal indicating the ready-state of the terminal device (530). The terminal device ready-status indicator is configured to transition from a low-state to a high-state or a high-state data transmit ready signal of the data transmit ready signal after the ring-indicator signal is activated to alert the incoming call to the subscriber. The same control signal may be included. In addition, the ready-status indicator may control information such as a point-to-point protocol packetized data indicator flag inserted into a data stream generated from the terminal device, or other information indicating that the point-to-point protocol packet is transmitted by the terminal device. It may also include.
