Upon detecting a suspension event, the UE sends a signaling connection release indication (SCRI) with a new cause for “UE requested PS data suspension”. The SCRI may further include a suspension reason and a suspension period. When the network receives the SCRI, it will interpret that the UE may not be able to receive its downlink signal during the upcoming period and may prevent schedule radio resource for the UE. | 2014-08-07 |
