ABSTRACT:
An approach is provided for determining an optimal keep-alive time period. A request is received from one of a plurality of user equipments for a keep-alive timer value. A specific network information related to a network serving the one user equipment is determined. A keep-alive timer value is determined based on the network information and advantageously using statistical analysis.
