RADIO RESOURCE CONNECTION (RRC) ESTABLISHMENT FOR WIRELESS SYSTEMS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and systems for performing a wireless handoff for user equipment (UE) as the UE performs a handoff from a source extended Node-B (e-NB) to a target e-NB.SOLUTION: The method includes: detecting a radio link failure (RLF) between the UE and the source e-NB by the UE; maintaining an active communication service at a service layer of the UE after detecting the RLF and as the UE performs the handoff from the source e-NB to the target e-NB so that the communication service remains continuously active during the handoff; and the communication service supporting a first communication between the UE and a third party.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
