Abstract
Methods are provided for delivering packet data to a mobile station following inadvertent loss of a data-link-layer connection between a wireless-network entity and the mobile station. A first data-link-layer connection is established between (i) a wireless-network entity in a wireless network and (ii) a mobile station. The wireless-network entity responsively stores connection data pertaining to the first data-link-layer connection. An error condition is detected. Detecting the error condition comprises detecting that the wireless-network entity is incorrectly no longer storing the connection data pertaining to the first data-link-layer connection. Responsive to detecting the error condition, a second data-link-layer connection is established between the wireless-network entity and the mobile station.
