Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in accordance with example embodiments in order to provide methods, apparatuses, and/or systems that reduce and/or eliminate network inefficiencies caused by the persistence of user-equipment-specific associations with network interfaces and elements, including but not limited to user-equipment-specific associations on at least N2. In some example implementations, an AMF may assign a temporary ID containing particularized identification information to a UE in a manner that allows for selection by a (R)AN of a AMF and that enables an AMF to process an N1/N2 transaction, such as may occur when a UE enters an idle mode and/or transitions from an idle mode to a connected mode.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:\n receive a temporary identifier, wherein the temporary identifier was assigned by a first access and mobility management function to a user equipment device; detect a transition of the user equipment device from an idle mode to a connected mode; based at least in part on the temporary identifier, select an access and mobility management function from amongst a plurality of access and mobility management functions; and assign the selected access and mobility management function to the user equipment device.
