Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing on entering a Connected State by an access terminal and an access network is provided comprising issuing a ConnectedState.Activate command and an ActiveSetManagement.Open command, determining whether protocol receives an indication and determining whether protocol receives a Redirect message.

Claims

1. A method of processing on entering a Connected State by an access terminal, characterized in that:

issuing a ConnectedStateActivate command and issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Open command;

determining whether a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, an OverheadMessages.Supervision Failed, a ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, an ActiveSetManagement.AssignmentRejected, or a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication is received;

determining whether protocol receives a Redirect message;

issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command, performing a clean up procedure and performing transition to idle state on receiving at least one of the ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, the OverheadMessages.Supervision Failed, the ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, the ActiveSetManagement.AssignmentRejected, or the ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Deactivate command, issuing an OverheadMessages.Deactivate command, issuing a ForwardTrafficChannel.Deactivate command, issuing a SharedSignallingMAC.Deactivate command, performing a cleanup procedure and performing transition to initialization state on receiving a Redirect message.

3. The method as claimed in claim any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the step of performing the cleanup procedure comprises issuing a ReverseTrafficChannel.Deactivate command, issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Deactivate command, issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close and issuing a ConnectedState.Deactivate command.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim any of preceding claims, characterized in that means for issuing a ReverseTrafficChannel.Deactivate command, issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Deactivate command, issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close and issuing a ConnectedState.Deactivate command.

10. The method as claimed in claim any of preceding claims, characterized in that performing the cleanup procedure comprises issuing a ReverseTrafficChannel.Deactivate command, issuing a ReverseControlChannel.Deactivate command, issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close and issuing a ConnectedState.Deactivate command.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim any of preceding claims, characterized in that means for issuing a ReverseTrafficChannel.Deactivate command, issuing a ReverseControlChannel.Deactivate command, issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close and issuing a ConnectedState.Deactivate command.

4. A computer-readable medium including instruction stored thereon, characterized in that:

a first set of instructions for issuing a ConnectedState.Activate command and issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Open command;

a second set of instructions for determining whether a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, an OverheadMessages.Supervision Failed, a ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, an ActiveSetManagement.AssignmentRejected, or a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication is received;

a third set of instructions for determining whether protocol receives a Redirect message; and

a fourth set of instructions for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command, performing a clean up procedure and performing transition to idle state on receiving at least one of the ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, the OverheadMessages.Supervision Failed, the ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, the ActiveSetManagement.AssignmentRejected, or the ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

5. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

means for issuing a ConnectedState.Activate command and issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Open command;

means for determining whether a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, an OverheadMessages.Supervision Failed, a ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, an ActiveSetManagement.AssignmentRejected, or a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication is received;

means for determining whether protocol receives a Redirect message; and

means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command, performing a clean up procedure and performing transition to idle state on receiving at least one of the ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, the OverheadMessages.Supervision Failed, the ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, the ActiveSetManagement.AssignmentRejected, or the ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Deactivate command, issuing an OverheadMessages.Deactivate command, issuing a ForwardTrafficChannel.Deactivate command;

means for performing a cleanup procedure and means for transiting to initialization state.

8. A method of processing on entering a Connected State by an access network, characterized in that:

issuing a ConnectedState.Activate command and issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Open command;

determining whether protocol receives a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed or an ActiveSetManagement.ConnectionLost indication;

determining whether a Redirect message is sent to an access terminal; and

issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command, performing a clean up procedure and performing transition to idle state on receiving a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, or an ActiveSetManagement.ConnectionLost indication.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Deactivate command, performing a cleanup procedure and performing transition to initialization state on sending a Redirect message to the access terminal.

11. A computer-readable medium including instructions stored thereon, characterized in that:

a first set of instructions for issuing a ConnectedState.Activate command and issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Open command;

a second set of instructions for determining whether protocol receives a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed or an ActiveSetManagement.ConnectionLost indication;

a third set of instructions for determining whether a Redirect message is sent to an access terminal; and

a fourth set of instructions for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command, performing a clean up procedure and performing transition to idle state on receiving a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, or an ActiveSetManagement.ConnectionLost indication.

12. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

means for issuing a ConnectedStateActivate command and issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Open command;

means for determining whether protocol receives a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed or an ActiveSetManagement.ConnectionLost indication;

means for determining whether a Redirect message is sent to an access terminal; and

means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command, performing a clean up procedure and performing transition to idle state on receiving a ConnectedState.ConnectionClosed, or an ActiveSetManagement.ConnectionLost indication.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 12 characterized in that means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Deactivate command, means for performing a cleanup procedure and means for performing transition to initialization state.
