Efficient status reporting for UEs in dual connectivity during mobility
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for efficiently performing a Se NB change for a UE in dual connectivity. When reconfiguring a data radio bearer going via the Se NB to another target base station, the UE may compile a PDCP status report comprising status information for all of the data radio bearer going via the Se NB, accompanied respectively by a radio bearer ID to identify the radio bearer to which the status report information pertains. Further, the PDCP status report is directly transmitted by the UE to the Me NB to avoid the backhaul delay between the Se NB and the Me NB; this may be done by using a signaling radio bearer (e.g. RRC message), or data radio bearer to the Me NB (e.g. PDCP control PDU), or by using a physical channel transmission to the Me NB (e.g. MAC CE).
