Method and apparatus for multi-rat transmission

摘要

A method and apparatus for mobility management, load management, sharing management and configuration update and setup in a mobile network having a first radio access technology node and a second radio access technology node, the first radio access technology node and the second radio access technology node communicating over a backhaul interface. In one aspect the method detects, at the first radio access technology node, that a handover for a user equipment to a new node is required; provides, from the first radio access technology node, handover information to the second radio access technology node over the backhaul interface; and performs the handover of the user equipment from the first radio access technology node to the new node.

主权项

1. A method at a user equipment operating in a mobile network having a first node with a first radio access technology and a second node with a second radio access technology, the method comprising:
receiving, from the first node a request to perform an inter-radio access technology neighbor cell measurement; performing the inter-radio access technology neighbor cell measurement; and providing a report to the first network node, the report including an indication of whether a neighbor cell supports inter-radio access technology carrier aggregation, wherein inter-radio access technology carrier aggregation allows for concurrent utilization of radio resources of the first radio access technology of the first node and radio resources of the second radio access technology of the second node.
