Question: In 5G NR, what is the primary purpose of the procedure outlined for area handling and storing of Application Layer Measurement report containers by a UE in RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE states?
Option 1: To manage handover decisions between different Radio Access Technologies (RATs)
Option 2: To optimize paging message transmission from the network
Option 3: To facilitate storage and handling of application layer measurements when the UE is not in an active communication state
Option 4: To enhance security for data transmissions over the control plane
Explanation: This procedure focuses on managing measurement reports when the UE is in idle or inactive states, not actively communicating with the base station. This is crucial for efficient network operation, as it allows the UE to store and handle measurements for potential future use (e.g., for mobility management or network optimization) without immediate transmission, thus conserving resources. The other options relate to different aspects of wireless communication (handover decisions, paging optimization, and security enhancements), which are not directly addressed by this specific procedure.
