A mobile terminal and base station may transmit and receive data from one another via a wireless network. When the mobile terminal is preparing to end a data transmission operation, the terminal may communicate this to the base station via an end of data signal. When the base station receives the communication and completes transmission to the mobile terminal, the base station may send a signal to the mobile terminal indicating that the mobile terminal should proceed directly to a dormancy (DRX) state, bypassing one or more inactivity timers. Direct transition to a DRX state without waiting for an inactivity timer to expire leads to improved power conservation. In one embodiment the mobile station may unilaterally enter a DRX state without performing the handshake process. The mobile station may transition to a longer DRX cycle bypassing the inactivity timer and an intermediate shorter DRX cycle. |
