Claim:
1. A mobility management entity (MME) comprising: circuitry configured to process information relating to an expected connection management state behavior of a WTRU; circuitry configured to derive information relating to an expected change in the connection management state of the WTRU based on the information processed at the MME; and circuitry configured to inform an eNB of the derived information by transmitting the derived information from the MME to the eNB using S1-AP signaling on a condition that an S1 signaling connection is set up between the MME and the eNB and the WTRU is transitioning from an idle state; wherein the expected change in connection management state of the WTRU relates to an idle state and a connected state, wherein the processed information includes a time factor, wherein the time factor relates to a period of time for which resources should be setup.
