Apparatuses, methods and computer programs for a base station transceiver and for a mobile transceiver

An apparatus operable in a mobile transceiver of a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising

• a transceiver module operable to communicate with a base station transceiver and a data server, the mobile transceiver using a data service provided by the data server;
• and
• a control module operable to:
• control the transceiver module,
• generate configuration information related to the data service, the configuration information indicating that a control data packet for the data service being intended to maintain a connection established between the data server and the mobile transceiver is to be determined, generated and/or replied to at the base station transceiver without relaying the control data packet to or from the mobile transceiver, and provide the configuration information to the base station transceiver using the transceiver module.

A method for a base station transceiver of a mobile communication system, the method comprising

• communicating with a mobile transceiver, the mobile transceiver using a data service provided by a data server;
• communicating with the data server providing the data service to the mobile transceiver;
• relaying data packets of the data service between the mobile transceiver and the data server;
• determining a control data packet for the data service between the data server and the mobile transceiver, the control data packet being intended to maintain a connection established between the data server to the mobile transceiver;
• and
• providing a reply data packet for the control data packet to the data server without relaying the control data packet to the mobile transceiver, and/or
• generating and providing the control data packet to the data server without relaying the control data packet to the mobile transceiver.
