Abstract
A method for receiving information on Tracking Areas (TAs) by a User Equipment (UE) in a communication network is provided. The method includes transmitting to a Mobility Management Entity (MME), an ATTACH REQUEST message in a deregistered state; and receiving, from the MME, an ATTACH ACCEPT message including at least two different types of Tracking Area Identify (TAI) lists that identify TAs. The at least two different types of TAI lists are concatenated in the ATTACH ACCEPT message and each of the at least two different types of TAI lists is variable within a maximum size.
Claims22
A method for receiving information on Tracking Areas (TAs) by a User Equipment (UE) in a communication network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a Mobility Management Entity (MME), an ATTACH REQUEST message in a deregistered state;
- and
- receiving, from the MME, an ATTACH ACCEPT message including at least two different types of Tracking Area Identify (TAI) lists that identify TAs,
- wherein the at least two different types of TAI lists are concatenated in the ATTACH ACCEPT message and each of the at least two different types of TAI lists is variable within a maximum size.
A method for transmitting information on Tracking Areas (TAs) by a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), an ATTACH REQUEST message in a deregistered state;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, an ATTACH ACCEPT message including at least two different types of Tracking Area Identify (TAI) lists that identify TAs,
- wherein the at least two different types of TAI lists are concatenated in the ATTACH ACCEPT message and each of the at least two different types of TAI lists is variable within a maximum size.
A User Equipment (UE) in a communication network, comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting, to a Mobility Management Entity (MME), an ATTACH REQUEST message in a deregistered state;
- and
- a receiver for receiving, from the MME, an ATTACH ACCEPT message including at least two different types of Tracking Area Identify (TAI) lists that identify Tracking Areas (TAs),
- wherein the at least two different types of TAI lists are concatenated in the ATTACH ACCEPT message and each of the at least two different types of TAI lists is variable within a maximum size.
