TRANSACTION TIMEOUT HANDLING IN COMMUNICATION SESSION MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a transaction timeout for a non-register signaling and control transaction upon not receiving a reply message from a first device;
initiating at least one subsequent signaling and control transaction with the first device for a particular period of time after detecting the transaction timeout for the non-register transaction; and
initiating a register signaling and control transaction with a second device after the particular period of time when no reply message is received for the at least one subsequent signaling and control transaction.

Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for handling transaction timeouts during setup and management of communication sessions. In particular, a communication device may be configured to handle transaction timeouts differently based on the type of signaling and control message that experienced the transaction timeout. In one aspect, the communication devices may handle transaction timeouts experienced during register transactions differently than transaction timeouts experienced during non-register. For example, the communication device that initiated the transaction initiates at least one subsequent transaction to the current proxy server when a non-register transaction experiences the transaction timeout. After experiencing a threshold number of consecutive transaction timeouts, an expiration of a failure duration timer, or a transaction timeout associated with a register transaction, the communication device cancels the current communication session and sends a register message to a new proxy server.

17. An apparatus comprising:
-
transmit circuitry to transmit signals; and a transaction management module that detects a transaction timeout for a non-register signaling and control transaction upon not receiving a reply message from a first device, and initiates, via the transmit circuitry, at least one subsequent signaling and control transaction with the first device for a particular period of time after detecting the transaction timeout for the non-register signaling and control transaction and initiates, via the transmit circuitry, a register signaling and control transaction with a second device after the particular period of time when no reply message is received for the at least one subsequent signaling and control transaction. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

49. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for detecting a transaction timeout for a non-register signaling and control transaction upon not receiving a reply message from a first device; and means for initiating at least one subsequent signaling and control transaction with the first device for a particular period of time after detecting the transaction timeout for the non-register signaling and control transaction, wherein the initiating means initiates a register signaling and control transaction with a second device after the particular period of time when no reply message is received for the at least one subsequent signaling and control transaction. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64)
