A method (200) and system (100) for supporting fast connection set-up in a communication network (110). The method can include the steps of-in a mobile station (114) that is capable of operating in at least two separate power saving modes, a first power saving mode and a second power saving mode, entering (212) an operational state associated with the second power saving mode and staying (214) in the first power saving mode. This process can enable the mobile station to avoid entry into the second power saving mode during the operational state. In the first power saving mode, the mobile station may remain registered with a communication network. In the second power saving mode, the mobile station may be de-registered from the communication network. The first power saving mode can be a sleep mode, and the second power saving mode can be an idle mode. |
