1. A method of operating a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- determining user interface activity initiated by a user application;
determining a timer setting based on the user interface activity initiated by the user application;
wirelessly transferring the timer setting to a wireless communication network; and
exchanging wireless communications initiated by the user application with the wireless communication network, wherein the wireless communication network uses the timer setting to set a dormancy timer based on the user interface activity initiated by the user application, wherein the dormancy timer controls release of a wireless access link between the wireless communication network and the wireless communication device;
wherein determining the timer setting based on the user interface activity comprises selecting the timer setting to reduce the dormancy timer in response to a level of user interface activity below a threshold.

Abstract
A wireless communication device determines user interface activity initiated by a user application. The wireless communication device determines a timer setting based on the user interface activity initiated by the user application. The wireless communication device wirelessly transfers the timer setting to a wireless communication network. The wireless communication device exchanges wireless communications initiated by the user application with the wireless communication network. The wireless communication network uses a dormancy timer based on the user interface activity initiated by the user application.
