A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12016076B2) discloses an information processing method that involves determining the state of an inactive timer and a Sidelink inactive timer to decide whether to release a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection. The method includes receiving a Prose Quality of Service (QoS) Indication (PQI) list from a base station and starting or restarting the Sidelink inactive timer based on the UE's data transceiving corresponding to a PQI in the list. Additionally, the method avoids repeated establishment and release of the RRC connection due to Sidelink resource requests, enhancing efficiency in managing connections.

Furthermore, the patent describes an information processing apparatus with a processor and memory that stores executable instructions. The processor is configured to determine the state of timers, decide on releasing the RRC connection based on timer states, and respond to receiving a PQI list by starting or restarting the Sidelink inactive timer. The apparatus also handles scenarios where the UE has Service Data Unit (SDU) transceiving on logical channels related to Sidelink, ensuring seamless management of connections. Overall, the disclosed method and apparatus aim to optimize connection management in wireless communication systems, improving resource utilization and network efficiency.
