Abstract
A technique, to keep alive one or more radio connections over a cellular network in order to carry downloaded data packets sent in a burst mode, is disclosed. In burst mode the flow of the data packets has a pattern with repeating two types of periods, an active period and a silent period. During an active period a plurality of data packets are sent and during a silent period almost no data packets are sent. The technique is implemented by an intermediate network element (NE) that is configured to send, during the silent period, a keep-alive signal (KAS) toward a relevant CD. The KAS can be a TCP acknowledgement, for example.
