Abstract

An embodiment generally relates to a method of maximizing network efficiency. The method includes determining a state of a connect attempt from a network and re-transmitting a connect attempt response message to the network in response to the network's connect attempt being in a pending state after an attempt to setup a connection to the network fails.

Claims (20)

1. A method of maximizing network efficiency, the method comprising:

receiving a connect attempt from a network;

determining a state of the connect attempt;

determining if the network is available by examining a stored network request record; and

re-transmitting a connect attempt response message to the network in response to the network availability and the connect attempt being in a pending state after an attempt to setup a connection to the network fails.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pending state indicates that a release message regarding the network connection request has not been one of transmitted and received.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pending state indicates that a network message which allocates network communication resource regarding the network connection request has not been received.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pending state indicates that difference between the present time and the time associated with the connect request being received is within a predetermined amount.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

entering into an idle state by registering with a base transceiver site of the network.

6. A wireless communication system, comprising:

a cellular network configured to interface with a mobile device, wherein the cellular network is configured to send a connect attempt to the mobile device, to determine a state of the connect attempt, and to receive a connect attempt response message from the mobile device based on a network request record stored on the mobile device and on the cellular network's connect attempt being in a pending state after an attempt to setup a connection to the mobile device fails.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the pending state is one of a release message has not been one of transmitted and received; a network message which allocates network communication resource regarding the connection request has not been transmitted; the difference between the present time and the time associated with the network connect attempt being transmitted is within a predetermined amount.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is embedded one or more computer programs, said one or more computer programs implementing a method of maximizing network resources, said one or more computer programs comprising a set of instructions for:

receiving a connect attempt from a network;

determining a state of the connect attempt;

determining if the network is available by examining a stored network request record; and

re-transmitting a connect attempt response message to the network in response to the network availability and the network's connect attempt being in a pending state after an attempt to setup a connection to the network fails.

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 8 , said set of instructions further comprises:

determining the network connect attempt in the pending state if the following conditions are true: a release message has not been one of transmitted and received; a network message which allocates network communication resource regarding the connection request has not been received; the difference between the present time and the time associated with the network connect attempt being received is within a predetermined amount.
