Provided is a wireless communication terminal that allows a wireless communication connection to be disconnected even when an application program that requires continuation of the communication connection is being executed. The wireless communication terminal transmits data to a communication target in response to a transmission processing request from an application execution section for executing the application program. The wireless communication terminal is configured to: establish the wireless communication connection to the communication target; disconnect, based on a given condition, the wireless communication connection to the communication target to cause a shift to a communication interrupted state; re-establish the wireless communication connection to the communication target when the transmission processing request is received in the communication interrupted state from the application execution section; and transmit, to the communication target, the data relating to the transmission processing request after the re-establishment of the wireless communication connection.

Method and apparatus for controlling connectivity to a network for intermittent data services are disclosed. A new dormant mode is defined such that a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may transition from a connected state or an idle state to the dormant mode based on triggering conditions. The WTRU may transition from a connected state or an idle state to a dormant mode if the characteristic or the priority of the data matches a characteristics or a priority for the dormant mode and operate using configuration which is different from configuration used for the connected state or the idle state. The WTRU in the dormant mode may perform a WTRU-controlled mobility procedure. The WTRU in the dormant mode may maintain a dedicated resource, such as a cell radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI), for receiving a unicast traffic from the network.

Methods and apparatus for use in a wireless system are described where initiation of packet transmission is constrained in accordance to control actual packet transmission in a manner that reduces contention and possible collisions beyond that provided by lower layer resource contention mechanisms, e.g., 802.11 carrier sensing and/or transmission back-off timing mechanisms. Through higher level, e.g., MAC constraints, on packet transmission initiation, an air interface which employs carrier sensing can be used and controlled in a manner which reduces collisions and interference in applications where small packets, e.g., packets which can be transmitted in a fraction of the maximum permitted transmission time. The methods allow small packets in such systems to be transmitted on a periodic or semi-periodic basis in many cases.
