CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] Not applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates generally to wireless communication technology, and more particularly to an initial connection procedure between user equipment and network equipment in a wireless communication system.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] In wireless communication systems there is the need for a logical connection between a mobile station (also referred to as user equipment (UE), a user terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless data terminal and a cellular phone) and radio access network. The radio access network may comprise one or more base stations (also referred to as a Node B, for example in 3GPP nomenclature) together with one or more radio network controllers (RNCs). The logical connection provides a context for a particular network to UE communication link over which data may be transferred without miscommunication of the d...
