Abstract
A radiotelephone device receiving network information, transmitted along a radio channel, from a network includes an acknowledgement coordination module determining a mode for exchange of acknowledgement information with the network. The radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information to the network through a main dedicated control channel, using a defined service access point identifier corresponding to transmission of the acknowledgement information through the main dedicated control channel, in response to the mode for exchange of acknowledgement information being the main dedicated control channel. The radiotelephone device transmits the acknowledgement information to the network using a temporary block flow acknowledgement interchange in response to the mode for exchange of acknowledgement information being other than the main dedicated control channel.
