Abstract
Method and system for a device having a processor module for maintaining a connection with another device are provided. The device includes a timer module having a plurality of timers, where the resolution for each timer is maintained by one or more processor modules; and a timer state module that stores an indicator value for indicating a timer state. A timer is assigned to the connection and the processor module manages the resolution of the timer. The processor module sends a request to the timer module for arming the timer and the timer module sets the timer state as active in a first storage location maintained by the timer state module; and responds to the processor module after the timer is activated. The processor module uses the information in the response for requesting a disarm operation.
