System and method for user equipment network capability control in radio access networks

Abstract:

Systems provide for provisioning, in a wireless network, in a network-service profile associated with a network-service subscriber, at least one of a power saving mode (PSM) parameter or an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) parameter for use by a first user device; receiving a network service-related request from the first user device via an administrative non-IP packet data network (PDN) bearer established using a statically-allocated non-IP administrative access point name (APN); sending, via the PDN bearer, a first mobile terminated trigger delivery request (MT-TDR) including a bootstrap request trigger, generated by the network device, to the first user device; receiving, via the PDN bearer in response to the bootstrap request trigger, a first mobile originated originating delivery request (MO-ODR) bootstrap request; and sending, in response to the bootstrap request, a second MT-TDR including the at least one of the PSM parameter or the eDRX parameter.
