First Claim
1. A method for initiating a closing of a transport layer connection at a client, comprising:
- determining whether a functionality associated with the transport layer connection satisfies at least one criterion; and
closing the transport layer connection when the functionality satisfies the at least one criterion while a radio layer connection is available.

Abstract
A server initiating shut down of a transport control protocol (TCP) connection when a radio connection is terminated is problematic because a new radio connection must be established for the sole purpose of shutting down the TCP connection. Hence, network and terminal resources for establishing the radio connection are wasted. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for initiating a closing of a transport layer connection at a client are provided. The apparatus determines whether a functionality associated with the transport layer connection satisfies at least one criterion, and closes the transport layer connection when the functionality satisfies the at least one criterion while a radio layer connection is available. As a result, the TCP connection is shut down by the client before the server can activate a new radio connection for the sole purpose of terminating the TCP connection.
