Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The method may be performed by a UE. In certain configurations, the UE activates an unavailability period. The UE stops one or more first non-access stratum (NAS) timers and allows one or more second NAS timers to run when the unavailability period is activated. The unavailability period may be activated by transmitting, to a network, a request message for initiating a procedure and indicating the unavailability period. The procedure may be an initial registration procedure, an attach procedure, a tracking area updating procedure or a mobility registration update procedure. Alternatively, the procedure may be a UE-initiated deregistration procedure or a UE-initiated detach procedure.
