While engaged in a dedicated channel, a User Equipment (UE) may get stuck on it. A method and the computer program product detects whether the UE is stuck on the dedicated channel ( 202 ). When it is detected that the UE is stuck, the UE or the corresponding network in which the dedicated channel is located carries out a local release of the UE from the dedicated channel ( 204 ), and the UE is placed in idle mode ( 206 ). Locally releasing the UE from the dedicated channel curtails unnecessary battery consumption in the UE and limits wastage of network resources and bandwidth. |
