Abstract
A wireless communication terminal ( 100) includes a TCP connection keep-alive timer and a controller configured to optimize keep-alive timer operation by reducing the frequency with which the terminal transmits keep-alive messages. In one implementation the controller re-sets the keep-alive timer before expiration thereof upon sending or receiving a message at the terminal during a TCP connection wherein the terminal transmits a TCP connection keep-alive message only upon expiration of the keep-alive timer. The terminal may transmit a register request message indicating whether the terminal supports optimized keep-alive timer operation.

Claim
1. A method in a wireless communication user terminal capable of communicating over a packet-based connection with a wireless network controller entity, the method comprising optimizing operation of a keep-alive mechanism by reducing a frequency with which the wireless communication user terminal transmits keep-alive messages during a packet-based connection when the wireless network controller entity has been notified that the wireless communication user terminal supports optimized operation of the keep-alive mechanism, wherein the optimizing comprises resetting a keep-alive timer, before expiration of the keep-alive timer, upon transmitting a message from the wireless communication user terminal or receiving a message at the wireless communication user terminal.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising
transmitting a packet-based connection keep-alive message upon expiration of the keep-alive timer.
3. The method of claim 2, transmitting a packet-based connection keep-alive message only upon expiration of the keep-alive timer, without transmitting the packet-based connection keep-alive message upon re-setting the keep-alive timer.
4. The method of claim 2 further comprising:
receiving a register accept message, the register accept message including a keep-alive timer value,
starting the keep-alive timer using the keep-alive timer value received in the register accept message.
5. The method of claim 4, the packet-based connection is a TCP connection, starting the keep-alive timer includes starting a TU 3906 timer.
6. The method of claim 2,
the packet-based connection is a TCP connection, the keep-alive timer is a TU 3906 timer,
receiving a GA-RC register accept message, the GA-RC register accept message including a TU 3906 timer value,
starting the TU 3906 timer using the TU 3906 timer value.
7. The method of claim 6, transmitting a GA-RC keep-alive message only upon expiration of the TU 3906 timer, without transmitting the GA-RC keep-alive message upon re-setting the TU 3906 timer.
8. A wireless communication terminal comprising:
a wireless transceiver;
a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection keep-alive timer that runs when the wireless communication terminal is in a TCP connection; and
a controller communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver and the keep-alive timer,
the controller is configured to optimize operation of a keep-alive mechanism by reducing a frequency with which the wireless communication terminal transmits keep-alive messages during a packet-based connection when a wireless network controller entity has been notified that the wireless communication terminal supports optimized operation of the keep-alive mechanism, wherein the optimizing comprises resetting the keep-alive timer, before expiration of the keep-alive timer, upon transmitting a message from the wireless communication user terminal or receiving a message at the wireless communication user terminal.
9. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the wireless communication terminal is in a TCP connection.
10. The terminal of claim 9, the controller is configured to cause the wireless transceiver to transmit a TCP connection keep-alive message only upon expiration of the keep-alive timer, without transmitting a TCP connection keep-alive message upon re-setting the keep-alive timer.
11. The terminal of claim 9, the controller is configured to start the keep-alive timer using a keep-alive timer value obtained from a register accept message received by the wireless transceiver.
12. The terminal of claim 9,
the keep-alive timer is a TU 3906 timer,
the controller is configured to reducing the frequency with which keep-alive messages are transmitted by re-setting the TU 3906 timer, before expiration of the TU 3906 timer, upon receipt of the message by the wireless transceiver when the wireless communication terminal is in a TCP connection.
13. The terminal of claim 12, the controller is configured to cause the wireless transceiver to transmit a GA-RC keep-alive message only upon expiration of the TU 3906 timer, without transmitting a GA-RC keep-alive message upon re-setting the TU 3906 timer.
14. The terminal of claim 12, the controller is configured to start the TU 3906 timer using a TU 3906 timer value obtained from a GA-RC register accept message received by the wireless transceiver.
15. A method in a wireless communication user terminal capable of communicating over a packet-based connection with a wireless network controller entity, the method comprising:
transmitting a register request message,
