TRAFFIC SPLITTING BASED ON LATENCY BETWEEN CELLS

摘要

Systems and techniques for traffic splitting based on latency between cells are herein described. At an eNodeB, a transmission path latency for a portion of a transmission path between the eNodeB and a user equipment (UE) may be measured via a secondary eNodeB when the UE is dually connected to both the eNodeB and the secondary eNodeB. The transmission path latency may be compared to a threshold. A layer in a transmission stack to split traffic to the UE may be determined based on the comparison of the transmission path latency to the threshold, the traffic being split between the eNodeB and the secondary eNodeB.

1. An eNodeB for traffic splitting based on latency between cells, the eNodeB comprising:
a latency testing module to measure a transmission path latency for a portion of a transmission path between the eNodeB and a user equipment (UE) via a secondary eNodeB when the UE is dually connected to both the eNodeB and the secondary eNodeB; a latency calculation module to compare the transmission path latency to a threshold; and a traffic splitting module to determine a layer in a transmission stack to split traffic to the UE based on the comparison of the transmission path latency to the threshold, the traffic being split between the eNodeB and the secondary eNodeB.
