MIGRATION OF LOCAL ANCHORS IN A WIRELESS MESH NETWORK

摘要

Methods, apparatus, and systems for wireless communication are provided. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes establishing a connection between the UE and an attachment node of a wireless mesh network. The wireless mesh network can include a plurality of interconnected mesh nodes and a first local anchor of a radio access network. The method can also include establishing a bearer between the UE and a global anchor of the radio access network, and communicating with a core network using the bearer. Bearer traffic may be carried through the wireless mesh network and relayed through the first local anchor. The bearer traffic may be carried through the wireless mesh network on a path determined by a routing plane of the wireless mesh network. The routing plane may be maintained using a distributed routing protocol. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication performed at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
establishing, via the UE, a connection with a first node of a wireless mesh network; communicating from the UE through the first node of the wireless network to a first local anchor of a radio access network using a routing plane of the wireless mesh network; and transmitting one or more packets to a corresponding entity external to the wireless mesh network, wherein the one or more packets are transmitted through the first local anchor using a first path determined by the routing plane of the wireless mesh network.
