An exem- plary method generally includes configuring one or more radio bearers for communicating with the network, determining that data associated with at least one radio bearer of the one or more radio bearers needs to be transmit- ted, selectively activating the at least one radio bearer based on the determi- nation that the data associated with the at least one radio bearer needs to be transmitted, transmitting the data over the at least one activated radio bearer.
