methods for enabling biosignaling of a user equipment in an idle state, for biosignaling a user equipment in an idle state, and for receiving a biosignalisation while in an idle state, first network node, and, user equipment.

摘要

According to certain embodiments, a method, by a first network node, is provided to enable biosignaling of a user equipment (eu) in a lightly connected state. The method includes the first network node receiving an eu identity index value for eu while the eu is in a connected state or during an initial context setting for eu. eu identity index value is stored. The method further includes transitioning the eu from the connected state to a lightly connected state and using the eu identity index value that was stored while the eu was in the connected state by signaling the eu. the eu identity index value may be received from the mother or from a neighboring network node or from the eu.
