Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for sharing context of a mobile device among base station nodes for mobility management in mobile communications networks. An active connection is established between a first base station node and a mobile device, within radio access network of a mobile communications network. Other base station nodes in the radio access network within a tracking area of the mobile device are identified, and a state propagation process is performed to share a state of the active connection between the first base station node and the mobile device with at least a second base station node determined to be within the tracking area of the mobile device. The shared state is utilized to enable the mobile device to seamlessly establish an active connection with the second base station node and communicate with the mobile communications network through the active connection with the second base station node.
