Abstract:
1. A method for controlling active-to-standby transitions for mobile terminals in a wireless communication environment, the method comprising: a) monitoring at least one Quality of Service (QoS) parameter bearing on QoS; b) determining a first value for an active-to-standby transition timer for a first mobile terminal based on the at least one QoS parameter; c) setting the active-to-standby transition timer for the first mobile terminal with the first value at the end of a data communication session with the first mobile terminal; and d) instructing the first mobile terminal to transition from an active mode to a standby mode if another communication session is not necessary prior to expiration of the active-to-standby transition timer for the first mobile terminal, the first value for the active-to-standby transition timer for the first mobile terminal being variable based on the at least one QoS parameter.
