Abstract

Certains aspects de la présente invention concernent des techniques d'économie de coût d'itinérance de données lors de l'itinérance dans une nouvelle radio (NR). Le procédé comprend généralement la détermination qu'une itinérance de données est désactivée au niveau de l'équipement utilisateur (UE). Le procédé comprend généralement la réception d'un message provenant d'un réseau d'itinérance pour établir un support radio entre l'UE et le réseau d'itinérance. Le procédé comprend généralement l'ignorance du message provenant du réseau d'itinérance sur la base de la détermination selon laquelle l'itinérance de données est désactivée au niveau de l'UE.
