CONTROLLING A RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL CONNECTION BETWEEN A BASE STATION AND A USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

It is described a method for controlling a radio resource control connection between a base station (101) and a user equipment (102), wherein a radio resource control connection between the base station (101) and the user equipment (102) is established for exchanging control messages between the base station (101) and the user equipment (102), the control messages being required for an application running on the user equipment (102). The method comprises determining a first value being indicative for a mobility characteristic of the user equipment (102) and a second value being indicative for a data traffic characteristic of the user equipment (102), comparing the first value and the second value, setting a release timer based on the comparison, and controlling the radio resource control connection based on the release timer, wherein the radio resource control connection will end upon expiry of the release timer.
