Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for delaying authentication of a mobile device following a radio link failure, and thereby enabling the mobile device to quickly attach to a current control component associated with a network, are provided. The method includes receiving, at the current control component, a message indicating that the radio link failure occurred at a previous control component. Upon receiving the message, the mobile device is attached to the current control component. Authentication of the mobile device is delayed such that authentication of the mobile device is initiated subsequent to the attaching of the mobile device to the current control component. This delayed authentication ensures that a communication session in which the mobile device was engaged prior to the radio link failure is uninterrupted.
