Abstract
A method of Radio Access Network (RAN) Notification Area (RNA) management for a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the UE, a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) message having a first RNA configuration; storing, by the UE, the first RNA configuration, when the UE is in an RRC Connected state, an RRC Inactive state, or a transition between the RRC Inactive state and the RRC Connected state; and applying, by the UE, an RNA update procedure, based on the first RNA configuration when the UE is in the RRC Inactive state.
