Abstract  Abstract

The invention concerns control of connections in cellular telecommunication systems particularly setting up and releasing of connections. According to the invention during setting up of a new MM connection it is checked whether an RRC connection is already active. If an RRC connection is already active explicit signalling is used. Otherwise RRC level events can be used to implicity control MM level events. During releasing of MM connections it is checked if another MM protocol uses RRC connections and if that is the case the releasing of MM connections is signalled explicitly.
