Abstract:
A device and method for a user equipment (UE) to reduce signaling with a network by conditionally barring the transmission of a particular signal to the network. The UE determines that a first predetermined condition related to radio conditions between the UE and the first cell is satisfied. The UE determines whether to activate a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation based on a second predetermined condition. The first mode of operation includes transmitting a signal that is intended to cause the release of a bearer between the UE and a packet data network (PDN). The second mode of operation includes barring the transmission of the signal that is intended to cause the release of the bearer between the UE and the PDN.
