Abstract

A node (26) controls transitions between radio resource control states for a wireless terminal (30) in a radio access network (24). The radio resource control states comprise a first state and a second state. The node (26) comprises a capacity manager (60) and a radio resource manager (40). The capacity manager (60) is configured to monitor a network condition of the radio access network (24). The radio resource manager (60) is configured to make a decision whether to make a transition from the first state to the second state by determining whether (1) a cost of remaining in the first state is greater than (2) a cost of switching to the second state, and wherein the radio resource manager is configured to take the network condition into consideration when making the decision.
