Claim 11:
12. An apparatus for a wireless communication device operating in a wireless communication network for managing power consumption of the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device is configured to operate according to first, second and third operational states for communication with a network node associated with the communication network and wherein the network node is configured to decide whether the wireless communication device is to transit to the second or third operational state from the first operational state, said apparatus comprising a controller configured to cause:
reception from the network node of an instruction to transit to a decided operational state when leaving the first operational state, the decided operational state being one of the second or third operational state;
obtaining of information of a first network configuration applied by the network node for the second operational state and information of a second network configuration applied by the network node for the third operational state;
determination to operate according to the second operational state or the third operational state based on the obtained information;
determination of whether to transition to the decided operational state received from the network node or the determined operational state when leaving the first operational state;
transition to the determined operational state when leaving the first operational state regardless of the decided operational state; and
cause determination of a delete frequency for when the wireless communication device deletes data context associated with the wireless communication device when the communication device operates in the second operational state.
