WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD WITH EXPEDITED CONNECTION RELEASE
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device configured with an expedited connection release, comprising:
- a housing;
a controller coupled to the housing, the controller configured to control the operations of the wireless communication device;
memory coupled to the controller;
a transceiver coupled to the controller, the transceiver having an idle state and a connected state in which the transceiver receives traffic messages from a base station, the connected state transitions to the idle state after a timeout period; and
a filtering module configured to identify acceptable traffic messages in a rules database free from triggering a firewall event and determine if the traffic messages do not match the rules database, defining an unacceptable traffic message, and in the event of an unacceptable traffic message triggering the firewall event and substantially immediately triggering a connection release.

Abstract
A wireless communication device (200) and method (300) with an expedited connection release. The method (300) includes: providing (310) a wireless communication device, configured to send and receive wireless signals, the wireless communication device including a controller configured to control the operations of the wireless communication device; communicating (320) traffic messages between a transceiver of the wireless communication device and a radio access network; identifying (330) acceptable traffic messages in a rules database free from triggering a firewall event; and determining (340) if the traffic messages do not match the rules database, defining an unacceptable traffic message, and in the event of an unacceptable traffic message triggering the firewall event and substantially immediately triggering a connection release. This arrangement can prolong battery life in communication devices and enhance a user'"'"'s experience.
