Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for preempting simultaneous control plane ('C-Plane') load collisions from simultaneous user equipment ('UE') releases on a group call, the method including the steps of determining, by an Evolved Node B (“eNB”), whether at least one of a plurality of UEs has data activity, determining, by the eNB, whether a simultaneous C-Plane simultaneous UE release condition has been met and setting, by the eNB, an inactivity timer countdown value for each of the plurality of UEs using randomized values over a first time interval for the inactivity timer countdown value.
