1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a communication interface to receive, from a network controller, a message to release a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling connection;

    a system control logic circuitry coupled with the communication interface, the system control logic to receive, at a first layer, an extended wait time (EWT) value, for a backoff timer, from a second layer that is lower than the first layer, ignore the EWT value based on a determination that the EWT value is received when no attach, tracking area updating, or service request procedure is ongoing, and release the NAS signaling connection when the backoff timer expires.
