METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NEGOTIATING MOBILITY SETTINGS

摘要

A method and apparatus for negotiating mobility settings. In transmitting a request message for mobility change by a transmitting eNB for negotiating mobility settings to a receiving eNB, identification of handover triggers (one or more) needing to negotiate mobility settings is added; and after receiving the request message for mobility change, the receiving eNB may determine which handover trigger or handover triggers need to negotiate mobility settings according to the identification of the handover triggers, determine whether the process of negotiating mobility settings of the handover triggers can be completed (that is, whether the parameter settings of the one or more handover triggers can be accepted) according to information on parameter settings included in the request message for mobility change, and feed corresponding acknowledgement message of mobility change or failure message of mobility change back to the transmitting eNB, thereby achieving inter-eNB load balance and optimization of handover performance.

主权项

1. A transmitting eNB for negotiating mobility settings, comprising:
a transmitting unit configured to transmit a request message for mobility change to a receiving eNB, the request message for mobility change including identification of at least one handover trigger, so that the receiving eNB negotiates mobility settings with respect to the at least one handover trigger with the transmitting eNB according to the identification of the at least one handover trigger.
