APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD TO SUPPORT LOW COMPLEXITY USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

Apparatus, computer-readable medium, and method to support low complexity user equipment are disclosed. A wireless communication device including circuitry is disclosed. The circuitry may be configured to determine support of a target evolved nodeB (eNB) for a low complexity user equipment (LC-UE), and handover the LC-UE to the target eNB if the support of the target eNB indicates the target eNB supports LC-UE. The wireless communication device may be a long term evolution (LTE) wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may be one of the following a source eNB, a core network entity, a LC-UE, a source radio network controller (RNC), a base station, a source base service set (BSS). The circuitry may be configured to determine support of the target eNB for the LC-UE based on a configuration or information from the target eNB.
