Transfer of Signaling Context Associated With a Wireless Device

Abstract

Methods, access network devices and computer programs in a radio access network (100) comprising a first network function, NF1, (140) and a second network function, NF2 (150). The access network device is configured to obtain, in the NF1 (140), information indicating an anomalous behavior of a wireless device (125), WD. The access network device is configured to initiate copying or transfer of a signaling context (260) associated with the WD (125) and existing in the NF1, from the NF1 to the NF2 (150). A computer program product is also disclosed. An access network device is configured to receive signaling from a wireless device, WD, (125), whereby a transfer of the signaling context associated with the WD between an NF1, and an NF2 is internal to the radio access network.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
