1. A method comprising:
- maintaining, at a user equipment (UE), a count of signaling connection release indication (SCRI) messages sent by the UE, including incrementing, while in a paging channel state, the count to reflect the UE causing a SCRI message to be sent, each counted SCRI message having a cause set to UE Requested PS (Packet Switched) Data session end;
transmitting signaling by the UE on radio bearer 3 (RB3) or upwards;
resetting the count by the UE responsive to the transmission of signaling;
determining whether a current value of the count is equal to or exceeds a predetermined value; and
responsive to the determination, stopping the sending of further SCRI messages with a cause set to UE Requested PS Data session end.

Abstract
A user equipment implements a method of processing indication messages, such as SCRI (signaling connection release indication) messages. For at least one RRC (radio resource control) state, if the current RRC state of the UE is a result of a previously sent indication, the UE inhibits itself from sending a further indication message.
