Radio resource control connection release message wait timer
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sending, related to a non-access stratum (NAS) procedure, an RRC connection setup complete message;
receiving, in response to the RRC connection setup complete message, when in a radio resource control (RRC) Connected state in an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network, an RRC connection release message from a network access node;
aborting the non-access stratum (NAS) procedure;
setting a wait timer in accordance with a wait timer indication that comprises part of the RRC connection release message; and
upon an expiration of the wait timer, repeating the non-access stratum (NAS) procedure and enabling the initiation of sending an RRC connection request message to the network access node.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method that includes receiving, when in a radio resource control (RRC) Connected state, a RRC connection release message from a network access node; setting a wait timer in accordance with a wait timer indication that comprises part of the RRC connection release message; and upon an expiration of the wait timer, enabling the initiating of sending an RRC connection request message to the network access node. Also disclosed is a method that includes operating a network access node with mobile node and sending a RRC connection release message to the mobile node. The RRC connection release message comprises a wait timer indication for specifying an amount of time that the mobile node should wait before initiating the sending of a RRC connection request message. Various apparatus and computer programs stored on non-transitory computer-readable medium are disclosed that are configured to execute the methods.
