1. A method for service flow retention in a wireless communication system, the method being implemented by a subscriber station, the method comprising:
- determining whether to retain a service flow between the subscriber station and a base station during an idle mode of the subscriber station, wherein the determining is based on a data demand metric, and wherein the data demand metric indicates the likelihood that data demand for the service flow will resume within a particular amount of time;
reactivating the service flow when the subscriber station exits the idle mode;
monitoring whether the service flow has data activity; and
deleting the service flow if there is no data activity.

Abstract
A subscriber station may determine whether a service flow between the subscriber station and a base station is retained during an idle mode of the subscriber station. The subscriber station may reactivate the service flow when the subscriber station exits the idle mode. The subscriber station may monitor whether the service flow has data activity. The subscriber station may delete the service flow if there is no data activity.
