Abstract
A terminal connection management method of the present invention comprises the steps of setting a signal timer corresponding to a signal bearer of a terminal and a data timer corresponding to a data bearer, confirming whether the signal timer and the data timer have expired, and disconnecting from the terminal if both of the signal timer and the data timer have expired.
Claims12
A method for managing a connection of a terminal by a base station, the method comprising:
- setting a signaling timer corresponding to a signaling bearer for control signaling and a data timer corresponding to a data bearer for data transmission, wherein a time value for the data timer is set to a greatest one among preconfigured values corresponding to quality of service class identifiers (QCIs) of at least one data bearer;
- determining whether data is carried over the signaling bearer or the data bearer;
- initializing, by the base station, the signaling timer in a case that the data is carried over the signaling bearer and initializing, by the base station, the data timer in a case that the data is carried over the data bearer;
- and
- releasing the connection to the terminal in a case that the signaling timer and the data timer are expired.

A base station for managing a connection of a terminal, the base station comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:
- set a signaling timer corresponding to a signaling bearer for control signaling and a data timer corresponding to a data bearer for data transmission, wherein a time value for the data timer is set to a greatest one among preconfigured values corresponding to quality of service class identifiers (QCIs) of at least one data bearer,
- determine whether data is carried over the signaling bearer or the data bearer,
- initialize the signaling timer in a case that the data is carried over the signaling bearer and initialize the data timer in a case that the data is carried over the data bearer, and
- release the connection to the terminal in a case that the signaling timer and the data timer are expired.
