Abstract
A system can communicate broadband cellular communications with a user equipment. The system can direct the user equipment to perform iterations of transmitting a keep alive report periodicity signal according to a packet data convergence protocol protocol data unit format. The system can, in response to determining that a consecutive threshold number of keep alive report periodicity signals of the iterations of transmitting the keep alive report periodicity signal has not been received, initiate a user equipment release transaction with regard to the user equipment.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- communicating broadband cellular communications with a user equipment;
- directing the user equipment to perform iterations of transmitting a keep alive report periodicity signal according to a packet data convergence protocol protocol data unit format;
- and
- in response to determining that a consecutive threshold number of keep alive report periodicity signals of the iterations of transmitting the keep alive report periodicity signal has not been received, initiating a user equipment release transaction with regard to the user equipment, wherein the initiating of the user equipment release transaction for the user equipment comprises initiating, by a first node of the system that terminates in a U-plane of a base station, a bearer context release request to a second node of the system that terminates in a C-plane of the base station.
A method, comprising:
- facilitating, by a system comprising at least one processor, broadband cellular communications with a user equipment;
- instructing, by the system, the user equipment to perform iterations of transmitting a keep alive report periodicity signal according to a packet data convergence protocol protocol data unit format, wherein the keep alive report periodicity signal corresponds to the broadband cellular communications;
- and
- in response to determining that a consecutive threshold number of keep alive report periodicity signals of the iterations of transmitting the keep alive report periodicity signal has not been received, initiating, by the system, a user equipment release transaction for the user equipment, comprising initiating, by a first node of the system that terminates in a U-plane of a base station, a bearer context release request to a second node of the system that terminates in a C-plane of the base station.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising at least one processor to facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- at least one of sending or receiving broadband cellular communications to or from a user equipment, respectively;
- instructing the user equipment to send periodic keep alive report periodicity signals from the user equipment to the system, wherein the keep alive report periodicity signals correspond to the broadband cellular communications;
- and
- in response to determining that a defined number of consecutive keep alive report periodicity signals of the keep alive report periodicity signals has not been received, initiating a user equipment release transaction for the user equipment, comprising initiating, by a first node of the system that terminates in a U-plane of a base station, a bearer context release request to a second node of the system that terminates in a C-plane of the base station.
