The wireless device comprises a communication interface; and one or more processing circuits communicatively connected to the communication interface, the one or more processing circuits comprising at least one processor and memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: send to a network node a request to resume a connection in a communication network; receive a resume response message from the network node, the message comprising an indication to perform a full configuration; and apply the full configuration. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method in a wireless device, the method comprising: sending to a network node a request to resume a connection in a communication network; receiving a resume message from the network node, the resume message comprising new User Equipment (UE) context information generated by the network node based at least on interface information between the network node and a core network, and in response to determining that a retrieved UE context information is unidentifiable, the resume message further comprising a flag set to full configuration, wherein the resume message is a Radio Resource Control (RRC) resume message which is distinct from a RRC connection reconfiguration message; and in response to receiving the resume message, applying the full configuration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising discarding an old bearer configuration and old radio parameters. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising keeping security keys. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising applying the received configuration. ### Claim 6 A wireless device, comprising a communication interface; and one or more processing circuits communicatively connected to the communication interface, the one or more processing circuits comprising at least one processor and memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: send to a network node a request to resume a connection in a communication network; receive a resume response message from the network node, the resume message comprising new User Equipment (UE) context information generated by the network node based at least on interface information between the network node and a core network and in response to determining that a retrieved UE context information is unidentifiable, the resume message further comprising a flag set to full configuration, wherein the resume message is a Radio Resource Control (RRC) resume message which is distinct from a RRC connection reconfiguration message; and in response to receiving the resume message, apply the full configuration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The wireless device of claim 6, wherein the at least one processor is configured to discard an old bearer configuration and old radio parameters. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The wireless device of claim 6, wherein the at least one processor is configured to keep security keys. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The wireless device of claim 6, wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive a configuration. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is configured to apply the received configuration. ### Claim 11 A first network node comprising: a communication interface; and one or more processing circuits communicatively connected to the communication interface, the one or more processing circuits comprising at least one processors and memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: receive, from a wireless device, a request to resume a connection in a communication network; based on the request, retrieving User Equipment (UE) context information from a second network node; determining that the retrieved UE context information is unidentifiable; in response to the determining, generating new UE context information based at least on interface information between the first network node and a core network; and send a resume message to the wireless device, the resume message comprising the new UE context information and a flag set to full configuration, wherein the resume message is a Radio Resource Control (RRC) resume message which is distinct from a RRC connection reconfiguration message. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The first network node of claim 11, wherein the network node has a different radio access technology than a previous network node which suspended a previous connection for the wireless device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The first network node of claim 11, wherein the resume message further comprises configuration parameters. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The first network node of claim 13, wherein the resume message further comprises an indication to perform the full configuration using the configuration parameters. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The first network node of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor is configured to generate the new UE context information based on S1 and Next Generation (NG) context information. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The first network node of claim 13, wherein the configuration parameters comprise one or more of bearer configuration, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) configuration and Radio Link Control (RLC) configuration.
