METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING A SET OF COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTION RELATED INFORMATION

摘要

Methods and apparatus related to management of active connections between an access terminal and access points are described. An access terminal main tains and manages active set information. The active set information identif ies a set of access points with which the access terminal has an active conn ection. In some embodiments, the active set information includes allocated r esources assigned to the access terminal corresponding to the different acce ss points in the active set. Layer 2 Transport Tunneling is used, in various embodiments, to communicate connection request and/or connection response i nformation, between access points. In some embodiments, the access terminal optionally assists in coordinating MAC resources allocated to the access ter minal by different access points.
