Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a device for increasing performance in a radio communication system (). The method comprises obtaining an indication that it is desirable to avoid that a communication terminal () of the system () enters a power saving mode, the power saving mode being entered upon expiry of a timer of the communication terminal (). The method further comprises allowing a scheme of scheduled periodic exchange of data between the communication terminal () and a node () of a network () of the system (), intended to periodically reset the timer before its expiry by means of said periodic exchange of data. The method also comprises exchanging data between the communication terminal () and the network node () over a radio interface () in accordance with the scheme, whereby entry of the communication terminal () into the power saving mode is prevented.
