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.
The method of Claim 2 further comprising + transmitting a packet-based connection keep-alive message upon expiration of thea keep- alive timer, and reducing the frequency with which keep alive messages are transmitted by re setting the keep alive timer, before expiration of the keep alive timer, upon transmitting or receiving a message at the wireless communication user terminal.
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.
The terminal of Claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to reduce the frequency with which keep alive messages are transmitted by re setting the keep alive timer, before expiration of the keep alive timer, upon transmission or receipt of a message at the wireless transceiver when the wireless communication terminal is in a TCP connection. 3 Application No.: 14/920,352 Docket No.: GOOGLE 3.0-1656 CON
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, 4 Application No.: 14/920,352 Docket No.: GOOGLE 3.0-1656 CON the register request message indicating whether the wireless communication user terminal supports optimized operation of a 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.
