Abstract
A method includes receiving a dormancy request from an application executing at a communication device. In response to the dormancy request, a message is sent from the communication device to a radio network controller. The message indicates that a data session has ended. After expiration of a time period following sending of the message, state information is provided to the application. The state information indicates whether the communication device is in a low-power state.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving a dormancy request from an application executing at a communication device;
- in response to the dormancy request, sending a message from the communication device to a radio network controller, the message indicating that a data session has ended;
- and
- after expiration of a time period following sending of the message, providing state information to the application, the state information indicating whether the communication device is in a low-power state.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that are executable to cause the processor to:
- receive a dormancy request from an application executing at a communication device;
- in response to the dormancy request, generate a message to be sent from the communication device to a radio network controller, the message indicating that a data session has ended;
- and
- after expiration of a time period following sending of the message, provide state information to the application, the state information indicating whether the communication device has transitioned to a low-power state.
An apparatus comprising:
- a modem configured to receive a dormancy request from an application executing at a communication device and to generate a message to be sent from the communication device to a radio network controller in response to the dormancy request, the message indicating that a data session has ended,
- wherein the modem is further configured to provide state information to the application after expiration of a time period following the sending of the message, the state information indicating whether the communication device has transitioned to a low-power state.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for executing an application at a communication device, wherein the means for executing is configured to generate a dormancy request;
- and
- means for generating a message to be sent from a communication device to a radio network controller in response to receiving a dormancy request from an application executing at the communication device, the message indicating that a data session has ended,
- wherein the means for generating a message is configured to provide state information to the application after a time period following the sending of the message, the state information indicating whether the communication device has transitioned to a low-power state.
