Dual connectivity control based on downlink data at a 4G base station
11290914 · 2022-03-29 · ·

Techniques for dual connectivity control based on downlink data are discussed herein. A Fourth Generation (4G) base station can receive downlink data to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE). The 4G base station can also receive data from the UE indicating that the UE is associated with a low power state. The 4G base station can further determine a capability of the base station (e.g., an available bandwidth) to transmit the downlink data to the UE. If an amount of downlink data is below a threshold, operations can refrain from establishing a dual connectivity connection. If an amount of downlink data is above a threshold, operations can include establishing a dual connectivity connection. In some cases, thresholds and/or the decision to initiate dual connectivity can be determined based on the state data associated with the UE, such as a battery status, a level of user interaction, and the like.

A target RAN node (3) receives, from a core network (5), a message requesting a handover of a radio terminal (1) from a bearer-based network to a bearer-less network. This handover request message includes flow information related to at least one session to be established in the bearer-less network in order to transfer at least one packet flow of the radio terminal (1). The target RAN node (3) transmits, to the core network (5), a handover acknowledge response message containing a transparent container that includes a radio resource configuration information derived from the flow information and is to be forwarded to a source RAN node associated (2) through the core network (5). It is thus, for example, possible to appropriately configuring an AS layer of a target RAT in an inter-RAT handover.
