Abstract
A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The controller operates in a connected mode with a connection to the service network, and determines whether there is no active data traffic in a first period of time when operating in the connected mode. In response to there being no active data traffic in the first period of time, the controller performs a local release of the connection or sends a measurement report to trigger the service network to release the connection.
Claims20
A mobile communication device, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver, configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network;
- and
- a controller, configured to operate in a connected mode with a connection to the service network, determine whether there is any active data traffic in a first period of time when operating in the connected mode, and perform a local release of the connection or send a measurement report to trigger the service network to release the connection, in response to there being no active data traffic in the first period of time.
A method for connection release, which is executed by a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- operating in a connected mode with a connection to a service network;
- determining whether there is any active data traffic in a first period of time when operated in the connected mode;
- and
- performing a local release of the connection or send a measurement report to trigger the service network to release the connection, in response to there being no active data traffic in the first period of time.
A mobile communication device, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver, configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network;
- and
- a controller, configured to determine whether a Carrier Aggregation (CA) or Dual Connectivity (DC) functionality has been configured by the service network, in response to the CA or DC functionality being configured by the service network, send a measurement report to trigger the service network to release the configuration of the CA or DC functionality, or release or deactivate the configuration of the CA or DC functionality, and in response to the CA or DC functionality not being configured by the service network, avoid sending another measurement report with a predetermined event type to the service network.
A method for resource release, which is executed by a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- determining whether a Carrier Aggregation (CA) or Dual Connectivity (DC) functionality has been configured by the service network;
- in response to the CA or DC functionality being configured by the service network, sending a measurement report to trigger the service network to release the configuration of the CA or DC functionality, or releasing or deactivating the configuration of the CA or DC functionality;
- and
- in response to the CA or DC functionality not being configured by the service network, avoiding sending another measurement report with a predetermined event type to the service network.
