Abstract: A wireless communication unit communication transport path monitor ( 10 ) monitors ( 20 ) at least one wireless communication unit specific parameter, and in response a wireless communication system inactivity timer ( 11 ) is set ( 21 ) as a function, at least in part of the monitored wireless communication unit specific parameter. The inactivity timer for a given wireless communication unit tends to be shortened when a communication transport path experience is sufficiently consumptive of unit and/or system resources. Optionally, at least one wireless communication system specific parameter is monitored ( 22 ) and/or at least one fairness parameter is checked ( 23 ), and the inactivity timer is set ( 21 ) as a function at least in part of the system specific parameter(s) and the fairness parameter. Similarly, if a predetermined condition is met, the inactivity timer for a given wireless communication unit may not be shortened.
