QUICK RECOVERY OF RF SESSIONS AFTER BACKHAUL LINK FAILURE

摘要

Communication sessions with mobile devices may be suspended, in a wireless communications network, after failure of one or more backhaul network links In one implementation, a device may detect failure of a backhaul network connecting a cell site to a core portion of a wireless network; and suspend, based on the detected failure, communication sessions with mobile devices connected to the cell site through radio interfaces, the suspending of the communication sessions including preventing loss of the communication sessions despite the failure of the backhaul network. The device may further detect cessation of the failure of the backhaul network; and resume, based on the detected cessation of the failure of the backhaul network, the communication sessions with the mobile devices.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting, by one or more devices, failure of a backhaul network connecting a cell site to a core portion of a wireless network; suspending, by the one or more devices and based on the detected failure, a communication session with a mobile device connected to the cell site through radio interfaces, the suspending of the communication session including preventing loss of the communication session despite the failure of the backhaul network; detecting, by the one or more devices, cessation of the failure of the backhaul network; and resuming, by the one or more devices and based on the detected cessation of the failure of the backhaul network, the communication sessions with the mobile devices.
