Abstract
An evolved Node B (eNB) includes a memory and at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to: determine to suspend an established radio resource control (RRC) connection with a user equipment (UE), where suspension causes the established RRC connection to be a suspended RRC connection that disables user plane data communications between the UE and the eNB; in response to a determination to suspend the established RRC connection, store RRC connection data related to the established RRC connection; and transmit, to the UE, an RRC connection suspend command instructing the UE to store the RRC connection data and suspend the established RRC connection.
