<p>A system and method for data transmission protocols in mobile communication systems and, more specifically, for controlling mobile stations (MSs) configured to implement extended uplink temporary block flows (EXT_TBF) is presented. An indication that EXT_UTBF_NODATA is not enabled is received at a mobile station. The mobile station enters a power saving mode and receives a first resource allocation via an uplink state flag (USF) in accordance with a resource assignment. While in the power saving mode and when the mobile station has no radio link control (RLC) media access control (MAC) blocks ready to transmit, the mobile station operates in an EXT_UTBF_NODATA mode by not transmitting a dummy block to a network.</p> |
