METHOD AND SYSTEM TO SUPPORT FAST CONNECTION SET-UP IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method for supporting fast connection set-up in a communication network, comprising:
- in a mobile station that is capable of operating in at least two separate power saving modes—
a first power saving mode and a second power saving mode—
entering an operational state associated with the second power saving mode; and
staying in the first power saving mode, thereby avoiding entry into the second power saving mode during the operational state, wherein in the first power saving mode, the mobile station remains registered with a communication network and in the second power saving mode, the mobile station is de-registered from the communication network.

Abstract
A method (200) and system (100) for supporting fast connection set-up in a communication network (110). The method can include the steps of - in a mobile station (114) that is capable of operating in at least two separate power saving modes, a first power saving mode and a second power saving mode, entering (212) an operational state associated with the second power saving mode and staying (214) in the first power saving mode. This process can enable the mobile station to avoid entry into the second power saving mode during the operational state. In the first power saving mode, the mobile station may remain registered with a communication network. In the second power saving mode, the mobile station may be de-registered from the communication network. The first power saving mode can be a sleep mode, and the second power saving mode can be an idle mode.
