Abstract
The present invention relates to a communication system and a method for the same. In the method simultaneous circuit switched and packet switched connections are established between a user equipment and a first element of the communication system. A predefined event is monitored for after initiation of a procedure for handing the circuit switched connection over from the first element to a second element of the communication system. The event is defined to indicate a need for release of resources reserved by the packet switched connection. Subsequent to detection of the event, resources reserved by said packet switched connection at the network side of the system are released.
