Abstract
A node of a wireless communication network receives a first request for establishment of a connection between a communication device and the wireless communication network. Upon receiving the first request, the node starts a timer and establishes a context for the connection between the communication device and the wireless communication network. Further, the node receives a second request for establishment of a connection between a communication device and the wireless communication network. Depending on a state of the timer when receiving the second request, the node selects between: A) establishing an additional context for the connection between the communication device and the wireless communication network while maintaining the established context, and B) releasing the established context and establishing a new context for the connection between the communication device and the wireless communication network.
