Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a target network node for communicating with a user equipment (UE) that was previously in communication with a source network node, comprises an interface operably coupled to processing circuitry. The interface is configured to receive a connection resume request from the user equipment, wherein the connection resume request comprises a resume identification associated with the source network node. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that the UE was previously in communication with the source network node. The interface is further configured to transmit the connection resume request to the source network node, receive a radio resource control (RRC) response from the source network node, and forward the RRC response to the UE.

Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method by a first network node is provided for enabling paging of a user equipment (UE) in a lightly connected state. The method includes the first network node receiving a UE identity index value for the UE while the UE is in a connected state or during an initial context setup for the UE. The UE identity index value is stored. The method further includes transitioning the UE from the connected state to a lightly connected state and using the UE identity index value that was stored while the UE was in the connected state paging the UE. The UE identity index value may be received from the MME or from a neighboring network node or from the UE.
