A method and computer program for selecting an inactivity timeout interval for a mobile communications network include steps of: (a) receiving a direction of a last data transfer on a channel resource comprising a reverse link and a forward link allocated by the mobile communications network to a mobile station; (b) when the last data transfer is a forward data transfer, selecting a short inactivity timeout interval for releasing the reverse link wherein the short inactivity timeout interval corresponds to a latency of the mobile station; (c) when the last data transfer is a reverse data transfer, selecting a long inactivity timeout interval for releasing the forward link wherein the long inactivity timeout interval corresponds to a latency of a destination of the reverse data transfer; (d) when a new data transfer occurs between the mobile station and the destination before the selected inactivity timeout interval expires for the last data transfer, continuing from step (a), else (e) releasing the channel resource allocated to the mobile station.
