Abstract

In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method (400) and an apparatus for enabling discontinuous transmission feature on a mobile station (150) are described herein. The apparatus generally includes a transmitting unit (320) and a controller (330). The controller (330) is operable to control transmission of mobile information via a first communication resource of a reverse link (210) in response to a trigger event. Accordingly, the transmitting unit (320) is operable to transmit mobile information via a second communication resource of the reverse link (210). The second communication resource is operable for discontinuous transmission.
