Optimization of context and/or connection management in a mobile communication system

摘要

In an embodiment, there is provided a method for optimization of User Equipment context management in a mobile communication system wherein a connection referred to as RRC connection between an User Equipment UE and a Radio Access Network RAN node can be released at transition from active to idle state and reestablished at transition back from idle to active state, a method wherein an UE context is maintained at said UE and at said RAN node upon release of said RRC connection, said UE context being identified by context identifier information shared by said UE and said RAN node.
