Abstract

A method, a computer readable medium and an apparatus for providing a dynamic inactivity timer are disclosed. For example, the method monitors a timer for a time threshold associated with a burst of a plurality of bursts of packets, and determines if the timer for the time threshold associated with the burst has expired. The method predicts an inter-burst time for the burst, if the timer for the time threshold associated with the burst has expired and sets the dynamic inactivity timer in accordance with the inter-burst time for the burst.
