Abstract
Access terminals are adapted to facilitate extended time periods for maintaining PPP sessions. According to one example, an access terminal can communicate with a network entity to establish a PPP session maintained by an extended time period. The extended time frame can be different (e.g., greater or less) than a default time period for maintaining the PPP session. For instance, the access terminal may establish a PPP session including a PPP connection. The access terminal may also send a persistence indicator to the network entity to cause setting the extended time period for maintaining the PPP session. The network entity may receive the persistence indicator and accordingly employ a differing time period (e.g., an extended time period) for maintaining the PPP session. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
