1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive signaling from a network entity that indicates congestion, wherein the signaling indicates a back-off duration, wherein the back-off duration is associated with congestion;
send a registration request to the network entity, wherein the registration request indicates an unavailability period and indicates that the WTRU is unable to receive DL data during the unavailability period, and wherein the registration request is sent during the back-off duration;
receive a registration accept message, wherein the registration accept message comprises an indication that indicates whether the WTRU is to inform the network entity at an end of the unavailability period;
determine that the unavailability period has ended;
determine that the WTRU is to inform the network entity at the end of the unavailability period; and
send a registration update request to the network entity based on the determination that the unavailability period has ended and the determination that the WTRU is to inform the network entity at the end of the unavailability period, wherein the registration update request indicates that the unvailability period has ended.
