Abstract

A system may be in broadband cellular communication with a base station. The system may receive an indication from the base station to perform an iteration of transmitting keep-alive report periodic signals according to a packet data convergence protocol data unit format. The system may initiate an iteration of sending keep-alive report periodic signals to the base station, wherein responsive to the initiation, a user equipment release transaction is to be initiated for the system based on a threshold number of consecutive keep-alive report periodic signals not being reached in the received keep-alive report periodic signals.
