Abstract
A system described herein may provide a mechanism for efficiently delivering messages to a User Equipment ('UE') associated with a wireless telecommunications network, such as a UE that is frequently in an inactive state. A message for the UE may be received and buffered. Once the network determines that the UE has transitioned from the inactive state to the active state (e.g., as detected by a Mobility Management Entity ('MME') or an Access and Mobility Management Function (“AMF”)), the buffered message may be provided to the UE using control plane signaling.
