Inactivity timer evaluation

1. A method comprising:

monitoring a radio resource control connection state in a cellular network;

detecting a successful radio resource control connection setup indicative of a first change of the radio resource control connection state indicative of a start of a communication and detecting a radio resource control connection release indicative of a preceding second change of the radio resource control connection state indicative of an end of a preceding communication;

determining, upon said first change of the radio resource control connection state, a plurality of duration amounts of a period between said first change of the radio resource control connection state and said second change of the radio resource control connection state; and

adjusting an inactivity timer configured to trigger a radio resource control idle state based on a distribution of said plurality of determined duration amounts, wherein the inactivity timer is associated with at least one system architecture evolution temporary mobile subscriber identity.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting, from a plurality of bins, wherein each bin of said plurality of bins is defined by a respective different time range, a target bin for said determined duration amount, if said determined duration amount falls within said time range defined for said target bin; and

assigning said determined duration amount to said target bin.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

identifying said distribution of said plurality of determined duration amounts as a number of determined duration amounts assigned per target bin.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein

a number of said bins of said plurality of bins is configurable.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein

a width of each respective bin of said plurality of bins corresponding to said respective time range is configurable per said each bin individually.

6. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one memory including computer program code; and

at least one interface configured for communication with at least one another apparatus,

the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being configured to cause the apparatus to perform:

monitoring a radio resource control connection state in a cellular network;

detecting a successful radio resource control connection setup indicative of a first change of the radio resource control connection state indicative of a start of a communication and detecting a radio resource control connection release indicative of a preceding second change of the radio resource control connection state indicative of an end of a preceding communication;

determining, upon said first change of the radio resource control connection state, a plurality of duration amounts of a period between said first change of the radio resource control connection state and said second change of the radio resource control connection state; and

adjusting an inactivity timer configured to trigger a radio resource control idle state based on a distribution of said plurality of determined duration amounts, wherein the inactivity timer is associated with at least one system architecture evolution temporary mobile subscriber identity.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being further configured to cause the apparatus to perform:

selecting, from a plurality of bins, wherein each bin of said plurality of bins is defined by a respective different time range, a target bin for said determined duration amount, if said determined duration amount falls within said time range defined for said target bin; and

assigning said determined duration amount to said target bin.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being further configured to cause the apparatus to perform:

identifying said distribution of said plurality of determined duration amounts as a number of determined duration amounts assigned per target bin.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

a number of said bins of said plurality of bins is configurable.

10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

a width of each respective bin of said plurality of bins corresponding to said respective time range is configurable per said each bin individually.

11. A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, said product comprising computer-executable computer program code which, when the program is run on a computer, is configured to cause the computer to carry out at least the following:

monitoring a radio resource control connection state in a cellular network;

detecting a successful radio resource control connection setup indicative of a first change of the radio resource control connection state indicative of a start of a communication and detecting a radio resource control connection release indicative of a preceding second change of the radio resource control connection state indicative of an end of a preceding communication;

determining, upon said first change of the radio resource control connection state, a plurality of duration amounts of a period between said first change of the radio resource control connection state and said second change of the radio resource control connection state; and

adjusting an inactivity timer configured to trigger a radio resource control idle state based on a distribution of said plurality of determined duration amounts, wherein the inactivity timer is associated with at least one system architecture evolution temporary mobile subscriber identity.
