Abstract
A method and apparatus for accessing a telecommunications system. A channel having a plurality of data rates and a plurality of frame sizes is utilized by a mobile station to gain access to the system. If channel conditions allow, a faster data rate of the available data rates and a smaller frame size of the available frame sizes may be used to request access over the channel. By dynamically determining the data rate based on channel conditions, overall access delays for mobile stations using packet data services and making many access attempts may be reduced.
