A method for allowing a user equipment (UE) to respond cellular network signalling over a non-cellular radio access network. The UE initiates a service request procedure for a cellular network service and receives a service reject message in response. The UE enters an inactive state over a non-cellular radio access. Upon receiving an indication through cellular network signalling indicating that a set of downlink data are available for transmission to the UE, the UE responds to the indication over the non-cellular radio access by initiating another service request procedure that activates the non-cellular radio access, enters an active state of the UE over the non-cellular radio access, and receives the set of downlink data through user plane or connection of the non-cellular radio access.

Method for allowing a user equipment (UE) to respond cellular network signaling over a non-cellular radio access network

A UE, a network node, and methods for operating the same against maximum number of allowable radio bearers are provided. The method for operating the UE includes operating in a CIoT mode, wherein the UE is capable of operating in a normal cellular communication mode and capable of operating in the CIoT mode; determining, out of at least one UE-data network logical connection, a first UE-data network logical connection in a first set of the at least one UE-data network logical connection for which a radio bear request is to be made based on a UE-data network logical connection type correspondingly of each UE-data network logical connection of the first set of the at least one UE-data network logical connection being non-IP to prevent more than a maximum number of allowable radio bearers for the UE to be requested.
