Dynamic control of the length of time that an RRC connection exists is implemented based on the known and anticipated data needs of the UE. More specifically, the lifetime of the RRC connection may be a) initially set, b) extended, or c) shortened, even to the point of substantially immediately releasing it, based on the expected data transmission needs of the UE. This dynamic control is implemented by elements of the core network which are aware of the known and anticipated data needs of the UE. The UE needs are a function of the applications running on the UE. In one LTE-based embodiment, the RRC release timer is responsive to the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), which can access information about the applications that are running at the UE. In another embodiment, the RRC release timer is responsive to the Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF).

TWO-STEP INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR ADAPTIVE ANALOG ECHO CANCELLATION
The present invention relates to a communication unit comprising an echo canceler (140) for generating an echo suppression signal (ECHOSUP) to be superimposed at a receiver input to a receive analog signal comprising at least one of a far-end signal (RXSIG) received from a transmission medium (200) and an echo signal (ECHOSIG) resulting from a near-end signal (TXSIG) being transmitted from a transmitter output over the transmission medium and coupling through an echo coupling path (I) into the receiver input; and a controller (150) for controlling the operation of the echo cancel er. The controller applies at least one first gain value (α1, β1, γ1) across the echo coupling path for the receive analog signal to be power- constrained below a first power threshold at the receiver input, receives first measurements of the receive analog signal performed while the near-end signal is being transmitted with the at least one first gain value in force and without the echo suppression signal being generated, and determines a first estimate (II) of the echo coupling path from the first measurements. The echo canceler generates the echo suppression signal based on the first estimate. The controller thereupon substitutes at least one nominal gain value (α2, β2, γ2) used for regular communication over the transmission medium for the respective at least one first gain value, receives second measurements of the receive analog signal performed while the near-end signal is being transmitted with the at least one nominal gain value in force and while the echo suppression signal based on the first estimate is being generated and superimposed to the receive analog signal, and determines a second estimate (III) of the echo coupling path from the second measurements. The echo canceler then adjusts the echo suppression signal based on the second estimate. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling an echo suppression signal.

TRANSMITTING WIRELESS ALERT MESSAGES AT SUB-CELL GRANULARITY
A server receives signals indicating an alert condition for a location that is defined by a set of location attributes and Identifies one or more base stations that serve one or more cells that overlap with the location, which encompasses less than ail of the cells. The server transmits a message to the one or more base stations identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes. A user equipment receives the message identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes that define the location of the alert condition. The user equipment compares a location of the user equipment to the set of location attributes and generates an alert in response to the location of the user equipment being within the location of the alert condition.
