Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed to release a connection for a peer to peer communication session. The method includes initiating, by a first user equipment, a peer to peer communication session with a second user equipment. The method further includes establishing, by the first user equipment, a connection for the peer to peer communication session. The method also includes transmitting, from the first user equipment, information via radio resources allocated to the connection and releasing, by the first user equipment, the connection if there is no traffic over the connection for a specified period of time.
Claims20
A method for releasing a connection for a peer to peer communication session, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a first user equipment, a peer to peer communication session with a second user equipment;
- establishing, by the first user equipment, a connection for the peer to peer communication session;
- transmitting, from the first user equipment, information via radio resources allocated to the connection;
- and
- releasing, by the first user equipment, the connection if there is no traffic over the connection for a specified period of time.
A method for releasing a connection for a peer to peer communication session, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a first user equipment, a peer to peer communication session with a second user equipment;
- establishing, by the first user equipment, a connection for the peer to peer communication session;
- transmitting, from the first user equipment, information via radio resources allocated to the connection;
- and
- determining, by the first user equipment, whether to release the connection based on a traffic class or QoS of the peer to peer communication session if there is no traffic over the connection for a specified period of time.
A communication device for releasing a connection for a peer to peer communication session, the communication device comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in memory to release a connection for a peer to peer communication session by:
- initiating, by a first user equipment, a peer to peer communication session with a second user equipment;
- establishing, by the first user equipment, a connection for the peer to peer communication session;
- transmitting, from the first user equipment, information via radio resources allocated to the connection;
- and
- releasing, by the first user equipment, the connection if there is no traffic over the connection for a specified period of time.
