Assignee: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY LAB CO., LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A base station comprising:
at least one antenna to transmit and receive one or more wireless signals;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the base station to:
transmit, to a wireless user device:
radio access network-based notification area (RNA) information; and
an access barring threshold value, wherein the wireless user device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive mode, and wherein the access barring threshold value is associated with a determination that an RNA update indication is allowed;

after transmitting the RNA information, receive, from the wireless user device, an RNA update indication message, wherein the RNA update indication message is based on:
the RNA information; and
the access barring threshold value;

based on the RNA update indication message, determine whether to maintain the RRC inactive mode for the wireless user device; and
perform, by the base station:
based on a determination to maintain the RRC inactive mode for the wireless user device, transmission, to a node, a request for forwarding context information of the wireless user device; or
based on a determination to not maintain the RRC inactive mode for the wireless user device, transmission, to the wireless user device, an RNA update reject message.
