Feature Description

The Create Dedicated Bearer Delay and Retry Support feature facilitates the following:

  • Delays the creation of the dedicated bearer that is based on the configured time after handover is complete.

  • Retries the creation of the dedicated bearer for the IMS bearer in either of the following scenarios:

    • When the MME fails with the handover in progress.

    • When the IMS bearer is temporarily unreachable.

  • After the handover is complete, the SMF service starts with the configured timer. Then, the dedicated bearer creation begins.

  • If the IMS dedicated bearer creation fails, the maximum retries configuration determines the number of retries the creation process attempts. The configured timeout determines the delay of each retry attempt.
