Device, system, and method for fast network entry for wireless devices in idle mode
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving at a first wireless device a request from a second wireless device to enter an idle mode of operation;
receiving at the first wireless device network resource information from one or more backend network components, the network resource information including information for network re-entry of the second wireless device upon exiting the idle mode of operation;
storing said network resources information in a local memory of said first wireless device; and
if a request from the second wireless device to exit the idle mode of operation is received at the first wireless device within a predefined resource holding time period, retrieving the network resources information from the local memory and executing a network re-entry process for network re-entry of the second wireless device using the retrieved network resource information.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for, in a first wireless device, storing network resources in local memory for a second wireless device while the second wireless device is in an idle mode of operation, receiving a request from the second wireless device to exit the idle mode of operation, retrieving the network resources for the second wireless device from the local memory, and executing a network re-entry process using the retrieved network resources. A method, apparatus and system for, in a local memory of an active base station in a wireless network, storing network resources for an idle wireless mobile device in the wireless network, executing a network re-entry process for the idle wireless mobile device by retrieving and using the network resources for the idle wireless device, and signaling backend components of the wireless network to update the activation status of the wireless mobile device, wherein the network re-entry process is to be initiated prior to signaling the backend components.

17. A system comprising:
a first wireless device including; an antenna to receive a request from a second wireless device to enter an idle mode of operation; and
to receive network resource information from one or more backend network components, the network resource information including information for network re-entry of the second wireless device upon exiting the idle mode of operation;a local memory to store the network resource information; and a processor to retrieve the network resource information from the local memory and to execute a network re-entry process for network re-entry of the second wireless device using the retrieved network resource information, if a request from the second wireless device to exit the idle mode of operation is received within a predefined resource holding time period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method comprising:
-
receiving at an active base station in a wireless network, a request from a wireless mobile device to enter an idle mode of operation; locally storing at the base station network resource information from one or more backend network components of the wireless network, the network resource information including information for network re-entry of the wireless mobile device upon exiting the idle mode of operation; and upon receiving at the base station, within a predefined resource holding time period after receiving the network resource information, a request from the mobile wireless device to exit the idle mode of operation, retrieving the network resource information from the local memory, executing a network re-entry process for network re-entry of the wireless mobile device using the retrieved network resource information, and signaling the backend network components to update an activation status of the wireless mobile device after the network re-entry process is initiated. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
