Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing an Idle state by an access terminal in a wireless communication system is described. An IdleState.Activate command, ActiveSetManagement.Activate command is issued. It is determined if a queued OpenConnection command is present.

Claims

1. A method of processing an Idle state by an access terminal in a wireless communication system, characterized in that:

issuing an IdleState.Activate command;

issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Activate command; and

determining presence of queued OpenConnection command.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that issuing an OpenConnection command.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that determining if a default air link management protocol receives an IdleState.ConnectionOpened indication.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that:

issuing an IdleState.Deactivate command; and

transitioning to a Connected State.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that determining if the default air link management protocol receives an IdleState.ConnectionFailed, a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed or a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that:

issuing an IdleState.Close command;

issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command;

issuing a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.Deactivate command; and

issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Deactivate command.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that determining if the default air link management protocol receives a Redirect message, an ActiveSetManagement.NetworkLost, an OverheadMessages.SupervisionFailed, or a ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that:

issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Deactivate command;

issuing a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.Deactivate command;

issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Deactivate command;

issuing a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.Deactivate command;

issuing an OverheadMessages.Deactivate command;

issuing a ControlChannelMAC.deactivate command;

issuing an IdleState.Deactivate command;

issuing an AccessChannelMAC.Deactivate command; and

transitioning to the Initialization State.

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

a first set of instructions for issuing an IdleState.Activate command;

a second set of instructions for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Activate command; and

a third set of instructions for determining presence of queued OpenConnection command.

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

means for issuing an IdleState.Activate command;

means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Activate command; and

means for determining presence of queued OpenConnection command

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that means for issuing an OpenConnection command.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that means for determining if the protocol receives an IdleState.ConnectionOpened indication.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that:

means for issuing an IdleState.Deactivate command; and

means for transitioning to a Connected State.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that:

means for determining if the protocol receives an IdleState.ConnectionFailed, a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed, or a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that:

means for issuing an IdleState.Close command;

means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Close command;

means for issuing a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.Deactivate command; and

means for issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Deactivate command.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that means for determining if the protocol receives a Redirect message, an ActiveSetManagement.NetworkLost, an OverheadMessages.SupervisionFailed, or a ControlChannelMAC.SupervisionFailed indication.

17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that:

means for issuing an ActiveSetManagement.Deactivate command;

means for issuing a ReverseTrafficChannelMAC.Deactivate command;

means for issuing a ReverseControlChannelMAC.Deactivate command;

means for issuing a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.Deactivate command;

means for issuing an OverheadMessages.Deactivate command;

means for issuing a ControlChannelMAC.deactivate command;

means for issuing an IdleState.Deactivate command;

means for issuing an AccessChannelMAC.Deactivate command; and

means for transitioning to the Initialization State.
