User equipment and method for feedback of user equipment performance metrics during dynamic radio switching

摘要

An embodiment of a method for user equipment feedback of performance metrics during dynamic radio switching is disclosed. The method may include the UE receiving an indication to switch from a first radio associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) of a communication system to a second radio associated with a second RAT of the communication system. The UE transmits the performance metrics to the second radio and switches from a first radio of the plurality of radios to a second radio of the plurality of radios, the first radio associated with the first RAT and the second radio associated with the second RAT.

1. A method for dynamic radio switching with user equipment (UE) feedback of UE performance metrics, the UE having a plurality of UE radios, the method comprising:
the UE receiving a first message to switch from a first base station radio, of a first base station, associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) of a communication system to a second base station radio, of a second base station, associated with a second RAT of the communication system; the UE transmitting a second message to the second base station radio, in response to the first message, to trigger a switch from the first base station radio to the second base station radio, the second message comprising the first message and the UE performance metrics, wherein the UE performance metrics comprise at least one of a UE application state, UE time-averaged throughput for a proportional-fair scheduler, a UE video buffer size for streaming data UE quality of experience (QuE) metrics; and the UE switching, in response to the first message, an active UE transmission session from a first UE radio of the plurality of UE radios to a second UE radio of the plurality of UE radios, the first UE radio associated with the first RAT and the second UE radio associated with the second RAT.
