Claim:
1. A method of controlling a connection of a terminal being attached to a communication network, wherein a connectivity change from a connected mode into a non-connected mode is performed as a result of monitoring a data transmission activity with respect to the terminal, comprising: obtaining a terminal class according to a technical capability, a configuration and/or a subscription associated to the terminal, determining the inactivity timeout value according to the terminal class associated to the terminal, and changing the connectivity from the connected mode into the non-connected mode if a monitored time without data transmission activity exceeds the obtained inactivity timeout value, wherein the inactivity timeout value is modified or adapted in an instance where a connectivity change back to the connected mode is detected with respect to the terminal within a first predetermined verification time period after the connectivity has changed from the connected mode to the non-connected mode.
