Method and apparatus for state/mode transitioning
First Claim
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- sending to a network a first signaling connection release indication (SCRI) message having a cause set while in a first radio resource control (RRC) state;
receiving a message from the network to transition to a second RRC state; and
while the UE is in the second RRC state, an inhibit duration timer is not running, and a number of SCRI messages is greater than a maximum number, inhibiting, at the UE, the sending of a second SCM message having a cause set.

Abstract
A method and network element for sending a transition indication to transition a user equipment to a different state or mode, the method receiving a configuration message from a network; and transmitting a transition indication from the user equipment, the transition indication only includes a cause if the configuration message contains an inhibit transition indication. Also, a method and user equipment for processing a transitioning indication from a user equipment indicating the user equipment desires a transition to a different state or mode, the method comprising: receiving the transition indication from the user equipment; if the transition indication contains a cause: releasing a signaling connection of the user equipment or transitioning the user equipment to a different state or mode; and if the transition indication does not contain the cause: releasing the signaling connection.
