Abstract
A method for communicating with a mobile station is presented. The method includes transmitting a first radio block to the mobile station. The first radio block including an indication instructing the mobile station to enter a DTR mode. Before receiving an indication of whether the mobile station is in DTR mode, the method includes retransmitting to the mobile station at least one of the first radio block and a radio block previously transmitted to the mobile station using a timeslot that is not monitored by the mobile station when the mobile station is in the DTR mode.

A method for communicating with a mobile station, comprising:
- transmitting a first radio block to the mobile station, the first radio block including an indication instructing the mobile station to enter a DTR mode;
- and
- before receiving an indication of whether the mobile station is in DTR mode, retransmitting to the mobile station at least one of the first radio block and a radio block previously transmitted to the mobile station using a timeslot that is not monitored by the mobile station when the mobile station is in the DTR mode.
A method for communicating with a mobile station, comprising:
- transmitting a first radio block to the mobile station, the first radio block including an indication instructing the mobile station to enter a DTR mode;
- and
- before determining that the mobile station has entered the DTR mode, transmitting a poll message to the mobile station using a timeslot that will not be monitored by the mobile station when the mobile station has entered is in the DTR mode.
A method for communicating with a network, comprising:
- receiving a first radio block, the first radio block including an indication instructing a mobile station to enter a DTR mode and having a block sequence number;
- after receiving the first radio block, receiving a poll message;
- and
- when all radio blocks having block sequence numbers less than or equal to the block sequence number of the first radio block have been successfully received from the network:
- ignoring the poll message;
- and
- entering the DTR mode.
A network component, comprising:
- a processor, the processor being configured to:
- transmit a first radio block to a mobile station, the first radio block including an indication instructing the mobile station to enter a DTR mode;
- and
- before receiving an indication of whether the mobile station is in DTR mode, retransmit to the mobile station at least one of the first radio block and a radio block previously transmitted to the mobile station using a timeslot that is not monitored by the mobile station when the mobile station is in the DTR mode.
A mobile station, comprising:
- a processor, the processor being configured to:
- receive a first radio block, the first radio block including an indication instructing a mobile station to enter a DTR mode and having a block sequence number;
- after receiving the first radio block, receive a poll message;
- and
- when all radio blocks having block sequence numbers less than or equal to the block sequence number of the first radio block have been successfully received from a network:
- ignore the poll message;
- and
- enter the DTR mode.
