Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for user equipment context relocation at radio access network notification area edge are provided.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising computer program code,
- the at least one memory and computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from the user equipment, a first assistance information related to relocation of a user equipment context of a user equipment in radio resource control inactive state;
- determine a second assistant information related to the relocation of the user equipment context;
- and
- provide the second assistance information related to the relocation of the user equipment context to an anchor network node;
- wherein the apparatus forms at least part of a target network node.
