Abstract
Example implementations described herein are directed to a support node apparatus configured to support a wireless network system. The support node apparatus can be in the form of a mobility management entity and/or a serving general packet radio service. The example implementations directed herein can provide a network resource identifier and/or a globally unique temporary identifier to an associated user equipment to facilitate the transfer of the user equipment from a source support node apparatus to a target support node apparatus. In example implementations, the target support node apparatus can thereby be directly specified by use of the identifier.
