SERVING GATEWAY RELOCATION AND SECONDARY NODE ELIGIBILITY FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY

摘要

Systems and methods for wireless communication are described herein. In one aspect, a method may include establishing, by a first base station, a connection to a User Equipment (UE) and identifying a second base station to which the UE can also connect, determining whether dual connectivity of the UE to the base stations is permitted, and selecting, based on the determining, handing over the UE to the second base station or initiating dual connectivity for the UE. In another aspect, a method may include receiving a request for modifying bearers routed via a first gateway node for dual connectivity of a UE to a master base station and a secondary base station, determining that the modification requires bearers to relocate to a second gateway node, and rejecting the request or relocating all bearers associated with the UE to the second gateway node, based on the determining.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
establishing, by a first base station of a wireless communication system, a connection to a User Equipment (UE); identifying a second base station to which the UE is capable of connecting while also being connected to the first base station; determining whether dual connectivity of the UE to the first base station and to the second base station is permitted; and selecting, based on the determining, one of handing over the UE to the second base station or initiating the dual connectivity for the UE to the second base station.
