Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling an active state in a mobile communication system. The method includes receiving, from a base station, information related to a starting position of an active state and information related to a length of a first timer; deriving the starting position of the active state based on the information related to the starting position; starting the first timer set to the length of the first timer and entering the active state at the derived starting position; extending the active state, in response to control data indicating a new transmission of user data being received on a control channel; and terminating the active state, based on a control signal indicating a termination of the active state and a second timer for extending the active state. The second timer is started while the first timer is running, and the active state is terminated by the expiration of the second timer.
