METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING RADIO CONNECTION BASED ON INPUTS FROM APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to receive inputs from at least one application exchanging data with a wireless communication network via a radio connection, and to determine whether to maintain or close the radio connection based on the inputs from the at least one application; and
a memory coupled to the processor.

Abstract
Techniques for detecting end of activity and controlling a radio connection are described. In one design, inputs may be received from at least one application exchanging data with a wireless communication network via a radio connection. Whether to maintain or close the radio connection may be determined based on the inputs from the application(s). In another design, flow preferences may be received from at least one application for data flows. The states of the data flows may be determined based on their flow preferences and inputs from the application(s). A data flow may be determined to be active or inactive based on its flow preference, inputs received from an application for the data flow, activity detected on the data flow, etc. Whether to maintain or close a radio connection may be determined based on the states of the data flows. The radio connection may be closed when all data flows are inactive.
