METHOD AND APPARATUS TO HANDLE USER EQUIPMENT CONTEXT FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY IN ENHANCED SMALL CELL NETWORKS

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for handling user equipment (UE) context for dual connectivity in, for example, enhanced small cell networks are provided. One method includes associating small cell identifiers that are assigned by an anchor evolved node B (eNB) with a unique cell identifier related to the anchor eNB, and reporting user equipment (UE) history information in dual connectivity mode to a target evolved node B (eNB). The UE history information comprises at least the unique cell identifier of the anchor eNB.
