Methods and devices for facilitating access terminal registration with a registration server

A method operational on an access terminal, comprising:

• communicating with a registration server to enable the registration server to perform timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal using an identity (ID) associated with the access terminal;
• ceasing from conducting timer-based registrations while the registration server is performing the timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal;
• and
• powering down until event data is available for transmission or reception.

An access terminal, comprising:

• means for communicating with a registration server to enable the registration server to perform timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal using an identity (ID) associated with the access terminal;
• means for ceasing from conducting the timer-based registrations while the registration server is performing the timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal;
• and
• means for powering down until event data is available for transmission or reception.

A processor-readable medium comprising programming operational on an access terminal for:

• communicating with a registration server to enable the registration server to perform timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal using an identity (ID) associated with the access terminal;
• ceasing from conducting the timer-based registrations while the registration server is performing the timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal;
• and
• powering down until event data is available for transmission or reception.

An article of manufacture configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• communicate with a registration server to enable the registration server to perform timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal using an identity (ID);
• the processor further configured to:
• stop performing timer-based registrations while the registration server performs the timer-based registrations on behalf of the access terminal and power down until event data is available for transmission or reception;
• and
• at least one of a sensor or controller coupled to the processor configured to collect and/or analyze data.
