Connection close packet transmission method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A connection close-related packet transmission method of a terminal, the method comprising:
- establishing a connection with a server;
determining whether a preconfigured connection close timeout elapses after establishing the connection;
buffering, when the preconfigured connection close timeout elapses, a connection close-related packet generated in response to a release of a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection;
transmitting, when a preconfigured buffering timeout elapses without transmission of the connection close-related packet after buffering the connection close-related packet, the buffered connection close-related packet to the server; and
transmitting, when a next packet transmission is predicted, the buffered connection close-related packet to the server.

Abstract
A connection close-related packet transmission method and apparatus is provided for improving power saving efficiency of a power-constrained mobile terminal. The connection close-related packet transmission method includes establishing a radio connection with a server; determining whether a preconfigured connection close timeout elapses without connection activity after the connection establishment; buffering, when the connection close timeout elapses, a connection close-related packet; and transmitting, when another packet transmission is predicted, the connection-related packet to the server. The connection close-related packet transmission method and apparatus is advantageous in power saving efficiency of a power-constrained mobile terminal.

10. A connection close-related packet transmission apparatus for mobile communication, the apparatus comprising:
-
a radio communication unit which establishes a connection with a server; a connection close timer which determines whether a preconfigured connection close timeout elapses after the connection establishment; and a control unit which controls to buffer, when the preconfigured connection close timeout elapses, a connection close-related packet generated in response to a release of a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection, wherein the radio communication unit transmits, when a preconfigured buffering timeout elapses without transmission of the connection close-related packet after buffering the connection close-related packet, the buffered connection close-related packet to the server, and transmits, when a next packet transmission is predicted, the buffered connection close-related packet to the server. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
