Abstract
A wireless communications system includes a mobile station and a base station system that are capable of communicating on the wireless links (uplink and downlink). The mobile station is capable of establishing a logical connection, such as a temporary block flow, on the uplink, while the base station system establishes a logical connection on the downlink. When either the mobile station or the base station system detects end of data transmission, a predetermined wait period is started during which the mobile station or base station system does not start a procedure to release the logical connection on the uplink or downlink.

14. A system for communication in a wireless network, comprising:
-
an interface to a wireless link;
a control module adapted to establish a connection on the wireless link with a peer system; and
a delay element, the control module adapted to further detect end of data transmission on the connection and to wait a delay period provided by the delay element before starting a procedure to release the connection.

25. An article comprising at least one storage medium containing instructions for performing packet-based communications in a wireless network, the instructions when executed causing a first system to:
-
establish a connection between the first system and a peer system over a wireless link; and
wait a predetermined time period at the end of data transmission before providing an indication of the end of data transmission.

34. A first system, comprising:
-
means for establishing a connection over a wireless link with a second system;
means for detecting an end of data transmission; and
means for waiting a predetermined time period before providing an indication of the end of data transmission.
-
-
35. A data signal embodied in a carrier wave and comprising instructions that when executed cause a first system to:
-
detect end of data transmission over a connection established on a wireless link;
start a delay period after detecting the end of data transmission; and
start a procedure to release the connection after the delay period.
