1. A method for optimizing power consumption in a wireless device by determining an optimal signal release timing, the method comprising:

  • measuring accumulated data volume of one or more data calls received and transmitted in the device during a first time period during which the device is in a connected state;

    determining whether the accumulated data volume exceeds a predetermined threshold after the first time period;

    setting a second time period to a first value if the accumulated data volume does not exceed the predetermined threshold, and to a second value if the accumulated data volume equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold, wherein the second time period measures a time of the connected state;

    determining when the second time period expires; and

    sending a signaling message to signal release of the connected state when at least the second time period has expired.
