Abstract
A method, implemented by a network node, for establishing an efficient dummy network connection between a mobile device and a first network includes establishing at least one data connection between the mobile device and the first network. The method further includes receiving a request to establish the efficient dummy network connection. The method also includes establishing the efficient dummy network connection after receiving the request, where the efficient dummy network connection that is established uses a minimum number of network resources, said minimum number of network resources being less than the number of network resources used in the at least one data connection.
