1. A method performed by a node to handle operation of a user equipment (UE) in a dormant mode, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the node from a mobility management entity (MME), a first message associated with a start of a dormant mode of the UE, the first message including active time information of the UE and period information for the dormant mode of the UE, the active time information including time remaining until the start of the dormant mode of the UE, the period information including a duration of the dormant mode of the UE; and
configuring, at the node, a first timer associated with the dormant mode of the UE based on the active time information, and a second timer associated with the dormant mode of the UE based on the period information.

Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for dormant mode operation in a user equipment. During dormant mode, data transmission between the user equipment and network is suspended. For dormant mode operation, the user equipment determines whether to enter dormant mode, and sends, upon determining to enter dormant mode, a dormant mode entry message containing dormant mode time information to the network.
