SBP Session Resumption via Resume Frames

The patent applies preliminary action by having the SBP initiator and responder prepare and exchange resume frames before the session is fully disconnected. The initiator transmits a resume frame containing resume information (such as association ID and measurement setup ID) to the responder, enabling the session to be reestablished without requiring complete renegotiation of the entire SBP procedure. This preliminary preparation of resume data allows for reliable session resumption while avoiding the need for complex reauthentication and reconfiguration processes.

The patent applies local quality by selectively reestablishing only the critical session parameters (association ID and measurement setup ID) rather than renegotiating the entire SBP procedure. The resume frame contains only the necessary historical information locally relevant to session resumption, allowing the initiator and responder to reconstruct the session state without processing the complete original protocol sequence. This localized approach enables reliable resumption while minimizing the complexity of frame exchanges.

The patent applies preliminary action by having the SBP initiator configure timers and prepare resume information in advance before disconnection occurs. The initiator sets up the resume frame with timing information and association identifiers beforehand, so when reconnection is needed, the timers can be directly restored to their previous values without requiring full renegotiation. This preliminary configuration of timing parameters enables continuous sensing operations to resume quickly, minimizing the time loss associated with reconnection.
