Abstract
Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) configured with user credentials for a plurality of public land mobile networks (PLMNs). Such methods include, while registered in first and second PLMNs and in a connected state for the first PLMN, transmitting to a first network node in the first PLMN a first indication that the UE wants to enter a reduced-energy state for the first PLMN. Such methods include initiating a timer upon transmitting the first indication, subsequently performing a handover to a second network node in the first PLMN, and performing one or more of the following: transmitting to the second network node a second indication that the UE wants to enter the reduced-energy state for the first PLMN; and stopping the timer. Other embodiments include complementary methods for the first and second network nodes, as well as UEs and network nodes configured to perform such methods.
