METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A SIGNALING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION
First Claim
1. A method for processing signaling connection release indication between user equipment and a wireless network, comprising the steps of:
- a. monitoring, at the user equipment, whether a signaling connection release indication should be sent to the wireless network;
b. appending, at the user equipment, a cause for the signaling connection release indication to the signaling connection release indication;
c. sending the appended signaling connection release indication to which the cause is appended to the wireless network, thereby to indicate the release of a signaling connection and to identify the cause of the signaling connection release indication;
d. receiving the signaling connection release indication at the wireless network; and
e. examining said cause at the wireless network to determine whether the signaling connection release indication is a result of a normal or an abnormal condition.

Abstract
A method and system for processing a signaling connection release indication between user equipment and a wireless network, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring, at the user equipment, whether a signaling connection release indication should be sent to the wireless network; appending, at the user equipment, a cause for the signaling connection release indication to the signaling connection release indication; sending the appended signaling connection release indication to the wireless network; receiving the signaling connection release indication at the wireless network; and filtering said cause to determine whether to raise an alarm.
