1. A method for operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving a first message indicating capability of a dormant mode of a network from the network;
determining whether to enter the dormant mode during which data transmission between the UE and the network is suspended; and
sending, upon determining to enter the dormant mode, a second message including active time information and period information for dormant mode time information to the network.

Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for dormant mode operation in a user equipment. During dormant mode, data transmission between the user equipment and network is suspended. For dormant mode operation, the user equipment determines whether to enter dormant mode, and sends, upon determining to enter dormant mode, a dormant mode entry message containing dormant mode time information to the network.
