Title:
INTER-RAT (RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY) RE-ESTABLISHMENT ENHANCEMENTS IN MULTI-RAT DUAL CONNECTIVITY (MR-DC)
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/076230
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Embodiments include methods for a target node to establish a connection with a user equipment (UE) operating in dual connectivity (DC) with a PCell utilizing a first radio access technology (RAT) and with a PSCell utilizing a second RAT. Embodiments include receiving, from the UE, a re-establishment request message comprising parameters associated with the PSCell, a first message authentication code (MAC), and an indication of the UE's selection of a target cell served by the target node as a replacement for the PCell. The targetcell utilizes the second RAT. Embodiments include verifying the message integrity based on the first MAC, and determining a full UE context based on the plurality of parameters associated with the PSCell and on a successful verification of the message integrity. Embodiments include establishing a connection with the UE based on the full UE context, whereby the target cell serves as a PCell for DC.
