Abstract: Methods and apparatus for mobile initiated reselection in a communication network. In an aspect, a method includes establishing at least one of a temporary block flow (TBF) downlink and a TBF uplink with a first cell, determining that reselection to a second cell is to be performed, and transmitting a reselection status message to the first cell indicating the reselection. An apparatus includes transceiver logic to establish at least one of a TBF downlink and a TBF uplink with a first cell, and processing logic to determine that reselection to a second cell is to be performed, and to transmit a reselection status message to the first cell indicating the reselection. A method includes establishing at least one of a TBF downlink and a TBF uplink, receiving a reselection status message, and terminating at least one of the TBF downlink and uplink in response to the message.
