USER EQUIPMENT CONTEXT HANDLING WITH USER EQUIPMENT AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for UE context handling with UE autonomous mobility are provided. One method includes transitioning, by a user equipment associated with a network, into a user equipment controlled mobility mode based on a predefined trigger. The method may further include synchronizing with at least one network node serving the user equipment so that the at least one network node is informed of the transitioning of the user equipment into the user equipment controlled mobility mode. The evolved node B (eNB) may inform a core network node about the user equipment operational mode, and the core network node takes into account the user equipment operational mode during a following transaction with the user equipment.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory including 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 transition into a user equipment operational mode; synchronize with a network entity serving the apparatus so that the network entity determines when the apparatus transitions into the user equipment operational mode; and listen for a paging message, where the paging message indicates the signaling procedure to be used.
