the embodiment using the state method in the ccch receive state 800 the remote station waits for a ccch message in a waiting for answer mode 802 and completely processes any message with the tctf indicator for the ccch that arrives once a ccch message is received the remote station transitions into a wait state 805 wherein the remote station processes any message with the tctf indicator for the ccch during the duration of a timer the timer can be set for any predetermined duration upon the expiration of the timer the remote station transitions into the ccch drop state 810 if a new rrc message is expected while in the wait state 805 the remote station transitions back into a waiting for answer mode 802 of the ccch receive state 800 in the ccch drop state 810 the remote station completely discards any message with the tctf indicator for the ccch the remote station transitions into the ccch receive state 800 when the remote station transmits a rrc message such as a request for information or updates to a base station it should be understood that the wait state 805 could be separated from the ccch receive state 800 in an alternative implementation of the embodiment which is not shown in a system that does not use changing sequence numbers for the quick repeats the remote station can use the timer less embodiments or the embodiments with timers set to u201c 0 u201d to reduce processing resources once a successful decode of the ccch message is accomplished the remote.
