Abstract:
In an aspect, a network supporting a number of client devices may include a network device that establishes a security context and generates a client device context. The client device context includes network state information that enables the network to communicate with the client device. The network device generates one or more encrypted network reachability contexts based on the client device context, and transmits the one or more encrypted network reachability contexts to a network entity. The one or more encrypted network reachability contexts enable the network device to reconstruct the context for the client device when the network device receives a message to be transmitted to the client device from the network entity. As a result, the network device can reduce an amount of the context for the client device maintained at the network device in order to support a greater number of client devices.
