Dynamically adjusting a network inactivity timer during user endpoint mobility states

A method, comprising:

• determining, by network equipment comprising a processor, mobility state information of a device co-located with a correspondence with a travel of the vehicle and of the device, wherein the device is in communication with a communication network based on allocation of network resources of the communication network to the device, the device utilizes an inactivity timer to release the network resources of the communication network allocated to device, and the mobility state information comprises a current speed of the vehicle;
• accessing, by the network equipment, network policy data comprising information for setting a value of the inactivity timer, wherein the network policy data comprises a first policy specifying that the current speed being at least a first current speed indicative of the vehicle being in motion corresponds to the value for the inactivity timer being set to a longer time value than the value for the inactivity timer corresponding to the current speed being at most a second current speed indicative of the vehicle being stationary;
• and
• adjusting, by the network equipment, the value of the inactivity timer based on the mobility state information and the network policy data.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of network equipment, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• determining mobility state information of a user equipment co-located with a vehicle, wherein the user equipment is in communication via a wireless network based on allocation of wireless network resources to the user equipment, the user equipment utilizes an inactivity timer to release the wireless network resources allocated to user equipment, and the mobility state information comprises a current speed of the vehicle;
• obtaining network policy data comprising information for setting a value of the inactivity timer, wherein the network policy data specifies that, where the current speed is indicative of the vehicle being in motion, the value for the inactivity timer is set to a longer time value than where the current speed is indicative of the vehicle being stationary;
• and
• modifying the value of the inactivity timer based on the mobility state information and the network policy data.
