Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Within an access services network (ASN) operable for providing wireless access services to an access terminal and including a base station communicatively coupled to an ASN gateway, a new management protocol is provided for managing the R6 communications. The protocol includes a common set of message types that may be used for data plane, control plane, and individual peer applications communicating over the control plane. In one embodiment, a keepalive procedure or process is used to manage the R6 interface between the ASN gateway and the base station by sending keepalive messages through an established data path tunnel and maintaining one or more keepalive timers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: executing, using a base station, a management process associated with an R6 interface between the base station and an access services network (ASN) gateway; and monitoring, using the base station, the R6 interface during execution of the management process associated with the R6 interface for determining a status of R6 interface communications between the base station and the ASN gateway. 2. The method of claim 1…
