Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses and methods capable of selective acknowledgement of packets from an access probe. In one aspect, an apparatus includes: a transceiver configured to receive a set of frames associated with an access probe message from a wireless node, wherein the access probe message includes a plurality of frames, and the set of frames comprises a subset of the plurality of frames; and a processing system configured to generate a selective acknowledgement message based on a determination of whether each frame in the set of frames is received correctly. The acknowledgement includes an indication of receipt for at least one frame in the set of frames. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for wireless communications comprising:
transmitting, to a wireless node, an access probe message comprising a reverse pilot channel transmission, and further comprising a plurality of frames;
determining whether a selective acknowledgement associated with a subset of frames in the plurality of frames is received from the wireless node before the wireless node acknowledges successful receipt of the access probe message,
wherein the selective ack…
