REPORTING PERFORMANCE AND CONTROLLING MOBILITY BETWEEN DIFFERENT RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

A method and system for reporting performance and controlling mobility between multiple different radio access technologies are disclosed. According to one aspect, a controller in a network collects performance data concerning at least a first network operating according to a first radio access technology, RAT, and a second network operating according to a second RAT, the first RAT being different from the second RAT. The controller includes a performance monitoring collector, PMC, configured to collect performance data from at least a node of the first RAT and from at least a node of the second RAT. The collected performance monitoring data is analyzed to trigger selection of at least one serving radio cell for a user equipment, UE, connection based on the analysis.

1. A first controller managing allocation of resources in a first radio access network, the first controller comprising:
a first performance monitoring collector, PMC, configured to:
collect first performance data related to at least one radio cell of the first radio access network operating according to a first radio access technology, RAT, andcollect second performance data related to at least one radio cell from a second PMC of a second controller of a second radio access network operating according to a second RAT, the at least one radio cell of the second access network one of neighboring and partially geographically overlapping the at least one radio cell of the first radio network; and a performance data analyzer configured to:
analyze the first and second performance data collected by the PMC; and an inter-RAT admission and mobility function configured to:
trigger the selection of at least one serving radio cell for a user equipment, UE, connection based on the analysis of the first and second performance data, the at least one serving radio cell comprising one or more cells from the at least one radio cell of the first radio network and the at least one radio cell of the second radio network.
