METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USE IN REDUCING COST ASSOCIATED WITH LOST CONNECTIONS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

摘要

The present embodiments provides for notifying a remote communication device (124/126) when a local wireless device (122) loses its wireless link (112). A method detects when a wireless connection (112) is lost with a first communication device (122) identifies a second communication device (124, 126) that is communicating with the first device, and notifies the second device of the lost link. The notification of the lost link is supplied while the method provides batch communications. Voice communications, where a remote device is notified when a local device loses its wireless connection, can be provided. The second device can be determined by querying a server (150). The notifying can include forwarding an in- band tone, and/or generating a real time protocol packet. The loss of the link is detected through a radio access network (134), a packet control function (132), and/or a mobile switching center (136).
