System and method for piggybacking data across an open data channel of a wireless device
First Claim
1. A method of sending data packets from a network device, having device resources, over a packet network comprising the steps of:
- bridging an open communication channel between a network device and a packet network for a first use;
maintaining the open communication channel as an initial idle open communication channel after the completion of the first use; and
notifying a device resource of the initial idle open communication channel in response to the completion of the first use;
whereinthe step of maintaining the open communication channel as the initial idle open communication channel is performed by a linger timer, andthe step of notifying the device resource of the initial idle open communication channel is performed by a call from the linger timer to an application programming interface.

Abstract
A system, method, and program for transmitting data across an idle open communication channel from a wireless device. The wireless device includes a computer platform and a plurality of device resources that selectively utilize a open communication channel to communicate with other devices across the network, and each device resource selectively requests notification of an idle open communication channel, and all device resources that have requested such notification are notified upon an idle open communication channel occurring, and each notified device resource can selectively transmit data across the open communication channel prior to closure thereof.

10. A network device, having device resources, coupled to a packet network comprising:
-
a logic configured to bridge an open communication channel between a network device and a packet network for a first use; a logic configured to use a linger timer to maintain the open communication channel as an initial idle open communication channel after the completion of the first use; and a logic configured to notify, by a call from the linger timer to an application programming interface, a device resource of the initial idle open communication channel in response to the completion of the first use. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
