Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a QuickConfig message in a 1x Evolution (1XEV) data only (EV-DO) communication network for broadcast by a base station of the network to a plurality of users served thereby, comprising: setting a Forward Traffic Valid (FTValid) bit in a field of the QuickConfig message to a default value of a logic high state for all users, if the network does not have confirmation that a given user has closed its connection, maintaining a Media Access Control Index (MACIndex) resource for the given user at the base station for a given period M, at the end of which the MACIndex is de-allocated, and toggling the FTValid bit to a logic low state during the period M so that the given user monitors the bit according to its assigned MacIndex and drops the call.
