A method for a GSM/EDGE node (105, 130), comprising establishing a TBF to another node and entering a transmit state in which data blocks are transmitted via said TBF to said other node. The transmit state is left if (205) there are no data blocks to transmit and positive ACK/NACKs have been received for transmitted data blocks, and, upon leaving said transmit state, a timer is started for the release of said TBF and a predefined TBF mode is entered in which the TBF is regarded (230) as released if the TBF release timer expires before data blocks are received by the network node to transmit to the other node, while, if data blocks are received by the network node to transmit to the receiving node, the predefined TBF mode is exited, the timer is stopped (225) and reset, and the first state is entered. |
