<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method of providing an indication of a gap in transmission, so that the access point and access terminal do not interpret the gap in the transmission as indication of not requiring the assigned resources or as an indication that the assigned resources were no longer available. <P>SOLUTION: A method and apparatus are provided to manage the assignment transmission resource of forward and reserve link that is assigned to transmitting entity for a period of time. An indication of a gap is provided whenever the transmitting entity is not transmitting actual data packets (e.g. whole or part of intended data or content), yet the transmitting entity is to maintain the assignment of the allocated resource. For example, an erasure signature packet comprising a first data pattern is transmitted on the assigned resource when there is no actual data to transmit on the assigned resource. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
