Network connection or disconnection for mobile devices

1. A communication device, comprising:

a Context ID check circuit to check a Context ID of a current default bearer in response to a disconnect command from a host; and

an Access Point Name (APN) check circuit to check whether the host designated a particular APN in response to a connect command from the host, if a particular APN is designated, compare the particular APN with an APN carried by the first default bearer to determine whether a first default bearer is activated;

wherein the Context ID check circuit determines if a first default bearer is activated based on the current default bearer, and releases a connection between the communication device and the host while maintaining the first default bearer online if the first default bearer is activated.

2. The communication device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the Context ID check circuit determines if a second default bearer is also activated based on the current default bearer, and releases the second default bearer if the second default bearer is also activated.

3. The communication device in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the Context ID check circuit determines whether the context ID of the current default bearer is same as a Context ID of the second default bearer to determine if the second default bearer is also activated.

4. The communication device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein if the Context ID check circuit determines that the context ID of the current default bearer is same as a Context ID of the first default bearer, the first default bearer is activated.

5. The communication device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the APN check circuit further activates the second default bearer, assign a second Context ID to the second default bearer, and link the host with the second default bearer, if the APN from the host is not empty or NULL and not same as the APN carried by the first default bearer.

6. The communication device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the APN check circuit further links the host to the first default bearer if the APN from host is empty or NULL or same as the APN carried by the first default bearer.

7. The communication device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the communication device is an LTE capable communication device.

8. The communication device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the Context ID check circuit checks a Context ID of a current default bearer of an established connection between the communication device and the host.

9. A method for configuring a communication device, comprising:

checking a Context ID (CID) of a current default bearer in response to a disconnect command from a host;

checking whether a particular Access Point Name (APN) from the host is designated in response to a connect command from the host; and

comparing the particular APN with the APN carried by the first default bearer to determine whether a first default bearer is activated;

if a first default bearer is activated, releasing a connection between the communication device and the host while maintaining the first default bearer online.

10. The method in accordance with claim 9 , wherein if a second default bearer is also activated, releasing the second default bearer.

11. The method in accordance with claim 9 , wherein if the context ID of the current default bearer is same as a Context ID of the second default bearer, the second default bearer is also activated.

12. The method in accordance with claim 9 , wherein if the context ID of the current default bearer is same as a Context ID of the first default bearer, the first default bearer is activated.

13. The method in accordance with claim 9 , wherein if the APN from the host is not empty or NULL and not same as the APN carried by the first default bearer, assigning a second Context ID to the second default bearer, and linking the host with the second default bearer.

14. The method in accordance with claim 9 , wherein if the APN from the host is empty or NULL or same as the APN carried by the first default bearer, linking the host to the first default bearer.

15. An apparatus for configuring a user equipment device, comprising:

a host;

means to check a Context ID (CID) of a current default bearer in response to a disconnect command from the host;

means to check whether a particular Access Point Name (APN) from the host is designated in response to a connect command from the host;

means to compare the particular APN with the APN carried by the first default bearer to determine whether a first default bearer is activated; and

means to release a connection between the user equipment device and the host while maintaining the first default bearer online if a first default bearer is activated.

16. The apparatus in accordance with claim 15 , further comprising, means to release a second default bearer if the second default bearer is also activated.

17. The apparatus in accordance with claim 15 , wherein if the context ID of the current default bearer is same as a Context ID of the second default bearer, the second default bearer is also activated.

18. The apparatus in accordance with claim 15 , wherein if the context ID of the current default bearer is same as a Context ID of the first default bearer, the first default bearer is activated.

19. The apparatus in accordance with claim 15 , wherein the apparatus further comprises

means to assign a second Context ID to the second default bearer and link the host with the second default bearer, if the APN from the host is not empty or NULL and not same as the APN carried by the first default bearer.

20. The apparatus in accordance with claim 15 , wherein the apparatus further comprises

means to link the host to the first default bearer if the APN from the host is empty or NULL or same as the APN carried by the first default bearer.
