Optimized data reconnect
First Claim
1. A method of optimizing reconnection of a point to point protocol link layer in a mobile device comprising the steps of:
- initializing a stabilization counter;
monitoring whether the mobile device has entered a new zone from an original zone;
after the monitoring step has determined that the mobile device has entered a new zone, incrementing said stabilization counter and determining whether said stabilization counter equals a maximum value, and if the stabilization counter equals the maximum value, then performing reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone;
starting a stabilization period;
setting a stabilization timer for said stabilization period;
checking whether the mobile device enters a different zone during the stabilization period;
if the mobile device enters a different zone during the stabilization period, ending the stabilization period, resetting the stabilization timer and performing said incrementing, determining, starting, setting and checking steps; and
if the stabilization period ends and the mobile device has not entered a different zone, determining whether the mobile device is in a new zone or said original zone, and if the mobile device is in said new zone, performing reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone, otherwise if the mobile device is in said original zone, performing no reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone;
wherein the steps of the method are executed by the mobile device.

Abstract
A method of optimizing reconnection of a point to point protocol link layer in a mobile device comprising the steps of: monitoring whether the mobile device has entered a new zone; starting a stabilization period when the mobile device enters a new zone; checking whether the mobile device enters a different zone during the stabilization period; if the mobile device enters a different zone during the stabilization period, restarting the stabilization period and performing the checking step; and if the mobile device does not enter a new zone during the stabilization period, determining whether the mobile device is in a new zone, reconnecting to the new zone if the mobile device is in the new zone, and otherwise performing no reconnection.

13. A method of optimizing reconnection of a point to point protocol link layer in a mobile device comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring whether the mobile device has entered a new zone from an original zone; after said monitoring step has determined that the mobile device has entered a new zone, initializing a max return counter; starting a stabilization period; setting a stabilization timer for said stabilization period; checking whether the mobile device enters a different zone during the stabilization period; if said checking step has determined that the mobile device enters a different zone, testing whether the mobile device is in said original zone; if said mobile device is tested in said original zone, incrementing the max return counter and determining whether the max return counter has reached a threshold level and if said max return counter has reached a threshold level, canceling the stabilization timer and performing reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to said original zone, otherwise if said mobile device is tested not in said original zone, resetting the stabilization timer and restarting the stabilization period and performing said checking step; if the stabilization period ends and the mobile device has not entered a different zone, determining whether the mobile device is in a new zone; and if the mobile device is in said new zone, performing reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone, and otherwise if the mobile device is in said original zone, performing no reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone; wherein the steps of the method are executed by the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of optimizing reconnection of a point to point protocol link layer in a mobile device comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring whether the mobile device has entered a new zone from an original zone; after said monitoring step has determined that the mobile device has entered a new zone, initializing and starting a countdown timer; starting a stabilization period; setting a stabilization timer for said stabilization period; checking whether the mobile device enters a different zone during the stabilization period; if said checking step has determined that the mobile device enters a different zone, testing whether the mobile device is said original zone; if said mobile device is tested in said original zone, determining whether said countdown timer has expired; and if said countdown timer has expired canceling the stabilization timer and performing reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to said original zone; if the mobile device is tested not in said original zone, resetting the stabilization timer and restarting the stabilization period and performing said checking step; and if the stabilization period ends and the mobile device has not entered a different zone determining whether the mobile device is in a new zone; and if the mobile device is in said new zone, performing reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone, and otherwise if the mobile device is in said original zone, performing no reconnection of the point to point protocol link layer to the new zone; wherein the steps of the method are executed by the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
