Abstract

Techniques described herein prevent a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U) error indication from being generated from the user plane during a network-initiated session or bearer deletion, which saves overall network and radio resources and reduces the operating expenditures for the operator. In addition, techniques described herein eliminate additional Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) signaling between the control plane and the user plane nodes, which increases the reliability and provides faster communication of messages over the Sx/N4 interfaces.
