A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing signaling overhead in a wireless communication network. In one embodiment, the method is implemented in a network node. The method includes transmitting a first indication to a UE (User Equipment) to tell the UE to remember a configuration which is currently used after the UE enters RRC_IDLE. In an alternative embodiment, the method is implemented in a UE. The method includes (i) receiving a first indication from the network node to tell the UE to remember a configuration which is currently used after the UE enters RRC_IDLE, and (ii) retaining and not releasing or discarding the configuration upon leaving RRC_CONNECTED. |
