SELECTIVE LAYER-2 FLUSHING IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINALS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- classifying signaling messages to be transmitted from a mobile communication terminal into one or more classes, wherein each class corresponds to a respective event relating to the terminal and specifies the signaling messages that become irrelevant when the event occurs;
queuing the signaling messages for transmission in a queue; and
in response to detecting an occurrence of a given event, removing from the queue the irrelevant signaling messages based on the class specifying irrelevant signaling messages corresponding to the given event.

Abstract
A method includes classifying signaling messages to be transmitted from a mobile communication terminal into one or more classes, wherein each class corresponds to a respective event relating to the terminal and specifies the signaling messages that become irrelevant when the event occurs. The signaling messages are queued for transmission in a queue. In response to detecting an occurrence of a given event, the irrelevant signaling messages are removed from the queue based on the class specifying irrelevant signaling messages corresponding to the given event.

9. Apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory, which is configured to store a queue holding signaling messages for transmission; and processing circuitry, which is configured to classify the signaling messages into one or more classes, wherein each class corresponds to a respective event and specifies the signaling messages that become irrelevant when the event occurs, and, in response to detecting an occurrence of a given event, to remove from the queue the irrelevant signaling messages based on the class specifying irrelevant signaling messages corresponding to the given event. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
