Abstract
A wireless communication device (200) capable of gauging message freshness from the context of a receiver of a message response can include a transceiver (202) and a processor (206) coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver can be programmed to determine (312) if a message response is stale from the context of a receiver of the message response and send (318) a request for a second message response if the message response is determined as being stale. The communication device can be further programmed to determine if the message response is stale by determining if the message response is sent after a predetermined time after receipt of the message response or by determining if the message response is sent after an estimated time after a request for the message response.
