1. A method, in a wireless device operating in a wireless network, for handling transitions from Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state to an RRC inactive state, the method comprising:
receiving, from the wireless network, an RRC Reject message indicating that the wireless device is to enter the RRC inactive state; and
responsive to the message, using, for inactive state operation, at least one previously stored inactive state parameter corresponding to a parameter omitted from the message, wherein the at least one previously stored inactive state parameter comprises a wait time parameter to indicate that the wireless device shall not try to resume or connect to a cell until a wait timer expires.
