  • transmitting an access terminal specific request signal to a target base station;

    detecting a completion signal in response to the access terminal specific request signal, wherein the completion signal is one of a reverse link assignment block, a forward link assignment block, or an access grant;

    starting a timer upon detecting the completion signal; and

    confirming transmission of the completion signal from the target base station by determining whether a forward link confirmation signal is received from the target base station prior to an expiration of the timer.
