1. A method comprising:
- responsive to an indication from an upper layer of a user equipment (UE) that no more data is expected, setting a cause in a signaling connection release indication message to UE Requested Packet Switched (PS) Data session end;
transmitting, from the user equipment to a wireless network on a Dedicated Control CHannel (DCCH) using Acknowledged Mode (AM) Radio Link Control (RLC), the signaling connection release message including the cause for a network-controlled transition; and
receiving a state transition message from the wireless network.

Abstract
A method and system for processing a signaling connection release indication between user equipment and a wireless network, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring, at the user equipment, whether a signaling connection release indication should be sent to the wireless network; appending, at the user equipment, a cause for the signaling connection release indication to the signaling connection release indication; sending the appended signaling connection release indication to the wireless network; receiving the signaling connection release indication at the wireless network; and filtering said cause to determine whether to raise an alarm.

39. A method for processing a signaling connection release indication message at a wireless network, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a user equipment (UE) on a Dedicated Control CHannel (DCCH) using Acknowledged Mode (AM) Radio Link Control (RLC), the signaling connection release indication message for a network-controlled transition of the UE, the signaling connection release indication message having a cause set to UE Requested Packet Switched (PS) Data session end reflecting an indication from an upper layer of the UE that no more data is expected at the UE; and initiating a state transition based on the cause. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41)

42. A wireless network apparatus for processing a signaling connection release indication message, said network apparatus configured to:
-
receive, from a user equipment (UE) on a Dedicated Control CHannel (DCCH) using Acknowledged Mode (AM) Radio Link Control (RLC), the signaling connection release indication message for a network-controlled transition of the UE, the signaling connection release indication message having a cause set to UE Requested Packet Switched (PS) Data session end reflecting an indication from an upper layer of the UE that no more data is expected at the UE; and initiate a state transition based on the cause. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44)
