Abstract
In the UMTS, semi-static uplink and downlink connection parameters relating to the frequently-used services of voice, fax and web browsing are intermittently broadcast to mobile user equipment (20) which stores the parameters. When a mobile requests (30) one of those services, the relevant dynamic parameters are sent (32) over the radio interface and the mobile is asked whether it has in its store the relevant parameters for the requested service; if so (34), the call is set up; if not (36), the semi-static parameters relevant to the requested service are sent (38) to the user equipment. Considerable saving of radio resource results.
