Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for a first network entity of handling control plane context information relating to wireless devices. The first network entity is configured with a first context replication domain. The method comprises handling control plane context information relating to one or more wireless devices, and communicating, with each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information for the one or more wireless devices. The disclosure also relates to corresponding computer program, computer program product and first network entity.

A method for a first network entity of handling control plane context information relating to wireless devices, the first network entity being configured with a first context replication domain, the method comprising:
- handling control plane context information relating to a wireless device, and
- communicating, with each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information for the wireless device;
- wherein the communicating comprises:
- transmitting, to each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information relating to the wireless device, and
- receiving, from each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information relating to the wireless device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a computer program product for a first network entity for handling control plane context information relating to wireless devices and including instructions to cause at least one processor to:
- handle control plane context information relating to a wireless device, and
- communicate, with each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information for the wireless device;
- wherein the instructions to cause the at least one processor to communicate changes of control plane context information comprise instructions to cause the at least one processor to:
- transmit, to each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information relating to the wireless device, and
- receive, from each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information relating to the wireless device.
A first network entity for handling control plane context information relating to wireless devices, the first network entity being configured with a first context replication domain, the first network entity further being configured to:
- handle control plane context information relating to a wireless device, and
- communicate, with each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information for the wireless device;
- wherein the first network entity is configured to communicate by being configured to:
- transmit, to each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information relating to the wireless the device, and
- receive, from each additional network entity also configured with the first context replication domain, changes of control plane context information relating to the wireless the device.
