Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a residual traffic pattern associated with a mobile station in a wireless network; and
transitioning the mobile station from an active state to a residual traffic state based on the detecting, including;
sending a change uplink (UL) data service message to the mobile station to change the UL data service for the mobile station from a first UL service type to a second UL service type.

Abstract
Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, an apparatus may include a controller, a memory coupled to the controller and a wireless transceiver coupled to the controller. The apparatus may be configured to detect a residual traffic pattern associated with a mobile station in a wireless network, and transition the mobile station from an active state to a residual traffic state based on the detecting. The transitioning may include sending a change uplink (UL) data service message to the mobile station to change the UL data service for the mobile station from a first UL service type to a second UL service type.

22. An apparatus provided at a first physical access point (AP) in a wireless network comprising:
-
a controller; a memory coupled to the controller; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the controller; the apparatus being configured to; detect an active traffic pattern associated with a mobile station; transition the mobile station from a residual traffic state to an active state based on the detected active traffic pattern, including; send a change uplink (UL) data service message to the mobile station to change the UL data service for the mobile station from a first UL service type to a second UL service type, the first UL service type providing unsolicited UL resource grants to the mobile station at periodic intervals, and the second UL service type providing resource grants to the mobile station upon solicitation or request from the mobile station.

23. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a mobile station in a wireless network, a residual traffic pattern; sending, in response to the detecting, a state transition request from the mobile station to an infrastructure node to request a transition to a residual traffic state for the mobile station; receiving a message at the mobile station from the infrastructure node instructing the mobile station to enter a residual traffic state; and entering, by the mobile station, a residual traffic state. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
