Abstract

A method is provided that facilitates sidehaul minimization by dropping and reconnecting a mobile device when the mobile device has handed off to a second deployable in a deployable ad hoc communication system. A data session is established for the mobile device utilizing resources in the first deployable. At some point the mobile device hands over to a second deployable in the multiple deployable ad hoc network. The data session at the first deployable remains active and continues to send and receive bearer traffic and control traffic for the mobile device. Upon determining that the mobile device has entered an idle state, the mobile device is dropped from the second deployable and reconnects back to the second deployable. By dropping and reconnecting, the data and bearer sessions are moved from the first deployable to the second deployable, thereby eliminating sidehaul between the first deployable and the second deployable.
