First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- transceiving means for communicating data with a mobile network element using a bearer that is modifiable by a negotiation between the mobile terminal and the mobile network element, said data being divided into data units, wherein each data unit comprises at least one user data element and at least one status data element, said status data element comprising a status indication from the mobile network element to the mobile terminal;
detecting means for detecting a need for bearer modification from received status indications in at least two consecutive data units; and
control means for initiating a negotiation for bearer modification, as a response to the detected need for bearer modification.

Abstract
A method and a mobile terminal for communicating with a mobile network element (IWF) comprising communicating with a mobile network element (IWF) using a bearer that is modifiable by a negotiation between the mobile terminal (MS) and the mobile network element (IWF). The data is divided into data units (60) that comprise at least one user data element (61) and at least one status data element (62), said status data element (62) optionally comprising a status indication (63) from the mobile network element (IWF) to the mobile terminal (MS). A need for bearer modification is detected from received status indications (63) in at least two consecutive data units; and a negotiation for bearer modification is initiated, as a response to the detected need for bearer modification.
