Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus preserves a state of a user equipment (UE) in an anchor evolved node B (eNB), wherein the anchor eNB is one of a set of connected cells, the UE being in a connected mode. Each cell of the connected set has a corresponding coverage area. The apparatus then maintains the state of the UE in the anchor eNB when the UE moves from a coverage area of the anchor eNB to a coverage area of another one of the cells from the set of connected cells.
