Abstract
A mobile communications device with a wireless module and a controller module is provided. The wireless module receives a connection release message for leaving a connected mode from a wireless network. The controller module in response to the connection release message, keeps radio resources of a multimedia broadcast and multicast services (MBMS) service unreleased and releases all radio resources other than the MBMS service. Thereafter, the controller module enters an idle mode.
