1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an identifier configured to identify an endpoint as a general packet radio service tunneling protocol endpoint;
a processor configured to control a radio access bearer to skip a path management procedure; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the radio access bearer to a universal generic access network controller to prevent activation of the path management procedure to the general packet radio service tunneling protocol endpoint.

Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided to identify an endpoint as a general packet radio service tunneling protocol endpoint, and configure a radio access bearer to skip a path management procedure. The apparatus and method also transmit the radio access bearer to a universal generic access network controller to prevent activation of the path management procedure to the general packet radio service tunneling protocol endpoint.
