Method, apparatus and system for relocating user equipment between radio network controllers

摘要

The present disclosure, relating to the field of communications technologies, discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for relocating a user equipment between radio network controllers. The present disclosure is directed to configuring the coding scheme configured for the user equipment UE to a coding scheme consistent with the coding scheme supported by a target radio network controller to relocate the UE to the target RNC. The present disclosure is mainly applicable to inter-RNC handovers.

主权项

1. A method for relocating a user equipment (UE) between radio network controllers, comprising:
when a relocation is initiated, if radio links of the UE are under control of a target radio network controller (RNC), determining, by a source RNC, that the source RNC does not know a coding scheme supported by the target RNC, or determining that a coding scheme configured for the UE is inconsistent with the coding scheme supported by the target RNC, or determining that the UE is provided with a wideband adaptive multi-rate bearer; and initiating, by the source RNC, a UE-involved RNC relocation process.
