METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR HANDLING RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NOTIFICATION AREA (RNA) UPDATE CONFIGURATION UPON REJECT

摘要

A wireless device handles area update reports. The wireless device initiates (1502) a radio network area update, RNAU, responsive to detecting that the wireless device has entered a cell not belonging to a radio network area, RNA, configured for the wireless device. The wireless device receives (1504), from the wireless network, a message indicating that the wireless device's attempt to perform the RNAU has been rejected. The message includes or is accompanied by an indication that a wait time value is applicable. Responsive to the message, the wireless device sets (1506) a reject wait timer to the wait time value and performs (1508) the RNAU upon expiry of the reject wait timer. In some embodiments, the wireless device sets a periodic RNAU timer to the wait time value, responsive to the message, and performs the RNAU upon expiry of the reject wait timer and the periodic RNAU timer.
