Abstract
A communication system is disclosed in which am anchor base station receives, from a core network node, downlink data for a communication device. The base station attempts (e.g. by RAN-based paging) to initiate communication with the communication device, and when the communication device does not respond to the attempt to initiate communication, the base station sends a message to the core network node, the message requesting initiation of a paging procedure for the communication device (e.g. S1-based paging).
Claims8
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:
- transmit, to a first access network node, a request including a resume identity for resuming, to connected mode, a connection between the UE and a network including the first access network node, wherein
- the resume identity includes an identifier indicating a second access network node which last served the UE in the network.
A first access network node, comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:
- receive, from a user equipment (UE) a request including a resume identity for resuming, to connected mode, a connection between the UE and a network including the first access network node, wherein
- the resume identity includes an identifier indicating a second access network node which last served the UE in the network.
A method for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a first access network node, a request including a resume identity for resuming, to connected mode, a connection between the UE and a network including the first access network node, wherein
- the resume identity includes an identifier indicating a second access network node which last served the UE in the network.
A method for a first access network node, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment, UE, a request including a resume identity for resuming, to connected mode, a connection between the UE and a network including the first access network node, wherein
- the resume identity includes an identifier indicating a second access network node which last served the UE in the network.
