METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR RELOCATING USER EQUIPMENT BETWEEN RADIO NETWORK CONTROLLERS

摘要

The present invention, relating to the field of communications technologies, discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for relocating a user equipment between radio network controllers. The present invention is directed to configuring the coding scheme configured for the user equipment UE to a coding scheme consistent with the coding scheme supported by a target radio network controller to relocate the UE to the target RNC. The present invention is mainly applicable to inter-RNC handovers.

主权项

1. A method for relocating a user equipment (UE) between radio network controllers, the method comprising:
receiving, by a target radio network controller (RNC), a UE-not-involved RNC relocation required message,, wherein the message comprises a transparent container from a source RNC to the target RNC sent by the source RNC and a coding scheme indicated by a core network (CN), wherein the transparent container includes a coding scheme configured for the UE; and in response to determining that the coding scheme configured for the UE is inconsistent with the coding scheme indicated by the CN, sending a transparent container by the target RNC to the source RNC, wherein the transparent container comprises a reconfiguration message used to change the coding scheme of the UE, so that the source RNC sends a reconfiguration message to the UE.
