Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for tearing down a radio link based on keepalive message activity. An example method involves a radio access network (RAN) establishing a radio link with a wireless communication device (WCD); the RAN detecting that the RAN received periodic keepalive messages from the WCD via the radio link; and responsive to the RAN detecting that the RAN received periodic keepalive messages via the radio link, the RAN tearing down the radio link.
