CONTROL OF COMMUNICATION USING DUAL-CONNECTIVITY MODE DESCRIPTION

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for control of communication using dual-connectivity mode, and the apparatus includes at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to receive and process a communication connection reestablishment request from a communication element communicating in a multi-connectivity mode, to decide, in case a communication connection with the communication element is established, whether or not the multi-connectivity mode of the communication element is kept, and to cause a transmission of an indication towards a source communication network control element of the communication element, wherein the indication reflects the decision whether or not the multi-connectivity mode of the communication element is kept. The present invention can improve the dual connectivity performance, and a potential signaling overhead over network interfaces in case of a reconfiguration failure happening can be reduced.
