SYSTEMS FOR SWITCHING MODES IN WIRELESS SESSIONS

摘要

At least one example embodiment discloses a network control entity including a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first message from a gateway if a user equipment (UE) is in a first data transmission mode having a first bearer path and the gateway has downlink user plane data for the UE associated with a second transmission mode, the first message identifying the base station serving the UE, and send a page request to the serving base station, the page request identifying the UE and instructing the serving base station to initiate a transition to the second data transmission mode for the UE, the second data transmission mode including a second bearer path between the UE and the network, the second bearer path and the first bearer path being different.

1. A network control entity comprising:
a memory; and a processor, the processor configured to,
receive a first message from a gateway if a user equipment (UE) is in a first data transmission mode having a first bearer path and the gateway has downlink user plane data for the UE associated with a second transmission mode, the first message identifying the base station serving the UE, andsend a page request to the serving base station, the page request identifying the UE and instructing the serving base station to initiate a transition from the first data transmission mode to the second data transmission mode for the UE, the second data transmission mode including a second bearer path between the UE and the network, the second bearer path and the first bearer path being different and both bearer paths operating in the second data transmission mode after the transition.
