Moving access point indication

摘要

A user equipment, UE, (20) determines a mobility state of a Wi-Fi access point, AP, as one of a moving mobility state and a non-moving mobility state along with control information relating to UE cell (re-)selection and/or handover behavior based on the determined mobility state of the Wi-Fi access point, AP. The UE then controls its cell (re-)selection and/or handover behavior in relation to the Wi-Fi access point, AP based on the determined control information. In a preferred embodiment, the UE can communicate with a cellular base station, BS, and with the Wi-Fi access point, AP. The UE detects the Wi-Fi AP, determines that the Wi-Fi AP is moving based on a moving AP indication, and controls cell (re-Selection and/or handover behavior of the UE based on the determination that the Wi-Fi AP is moving along with other information.

主权项

1. A user equipment, UE, comprising:
radio circuitry configured to:
communicate with a Wi-Fi access point, AP, and a cellular base station, BS; andreceive, as control information, information from the cellular BS based on a moving AP indication; and processing circuitry configured to:
detect the Wi-Fi AP;determine a mobility state of the Wi-Fi AP as one of a moving mobility state and a non-moving mobility state based on the moving AP indication, wherein the mobility state of the Wi-Fi AP is determined based on a beacon frame or a probe response frame received from the Wi-Fi AP that includes the moving AP indication or an Access Network Query Protocol, ANQP, signaling that includes the moving AP indication;determine control information relating to one or more of UE cell selection, cell reselection, and handover behavior based on the determined mobility state of the Wi-Fi AP;control one or more of UE cell selection, cell reselection, and handover behavior in relation to the Wi-Fi AP based on the determined control information; andconnect to the Wi-Fi AP based on the received information and the determined mobility state of the Wi-Fi AP.
