Abstract

A method for exchanging protocol support information between a base station and a mobile station over an analog control channel. The method includes a first step of transmitting from a base station information specifying at least one protocol supported by the base station over a first analog control channel. A next step includes receiving the information transmitted by the base station at a mobile station. In response to receiving this information, a next step is performed of transmitting information which specifies at least one protocol supported by the mobile station, from the mobile station to the base station, over a second analog control channel.
