Abstract: A UE receives configuration for a common uplink channel to be used by the user equipment to communicate with a BS concerning cell DTX operation by the BS. The UE determines that a cell DTX operation has already started or the BS has signaled that cell DTX operation will start. The UE transmits, over the common uplink channel, an indication of data transmission need concerning cell DTX operation. The BS sends the configuration and starts the cell DTX operation or signals that the same will start. The BS receives the indication of data transmission need concerning the cell DTX operation. The BS determines whether to stay in or abandon the cell DTX operation based at least partly on the received indication of data transmission need.

Abstract: User Equipment (UE), methods, and software that selectively transfer data to a mobile network. In one embodiment, the UE identifies data buffered for one or more applications miming on the UE while the UE is in non-connected mode, determines a number of other UEs receiving signaling messages on a control plane to transition from non-connected mode to connected mode, and estimates a load on the control plane based on the number of other UEs receiving signaling messages to transition from non-connected mode to connected mode. The UE defers a transition from non-connected mode to connected mode to delay a transfer of the data from the UE to the mobile network over the radio interface when the load on the control plane exceeds a threshold.
