1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting data blocks from a mobile station to a radio resource entity during a first active data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF) connection; and
maintaining, at the mobile station, the uplink TBF connection during a passive period that follows the first active data transfer period, wherein during the passive period the mobile station does not send data blocks to the radio resource entity.

Abstract
A method and an arrangement for transferring information including delay sensitive data, such as speech and video data, in a packet radio service is provided. Data blocks are transmitted from a mobile station to a radio resource entity during a first active data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF) connection. The uplink TBF connection is maintained during a passive period that follows the first active data transfer period, wherein during the passive period the mobile station does not send data blocks to the radio resource entity.

7. A mobile station for communicating with a radio resource entity in a communications system, comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to transmit wireless communications to and receive wireless communications from radio resource entities in the communications system via data channels and control channels associated with such communications; a controller configured to control transmission of data blocks to the radio resource entity via the transceiver during a first active data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF) connection and to maintain the uplink TBF connection during a passive period that follows the first active data transfer period, wherein during the passive period the mobile station does not send data blocks to the radio resource entity. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
