Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for assigning data to split bearers in dual connectivity is provided. The apparatus includes a master evolved Node B (MeNB) of a user equipment (UE) configured to receive information of available buffer decided and transmitted by a secondary eNB (SeNB) through an X2 interface between the MeNB and the SeNB, determine whether the information is about available buffer for a UE or for an evolved radio access bearer (E-RAB) established on the SeNB based on an indicator in the information or a bearer that transported the information, and adjust the amount of data assigned to the SeNB according to the information of the available buffer. The apparatus can accommodate eNBs implemented in various manners, make full use of the bandwidth of data bearers, and reduce delay in data transmission.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a method for supporting a selected IP traffic offload (SIPTO) by a mobility management entity (MME) when a user equipment (UE) handovers from a source base station to a target base station in a mobile communication system. The method includes acquiring a local home network identifier (ID) of the source base station, acquiring a local home network ID of the target base station from the target base station, and determining whether the UE has moved out of the local home network of the source base station according to the local home network ID of the source base station and the local home network ID of the target base station.
Abstract:
A system for configuring a UE-AMBR includes a MME to send the UE-AMBR to an eNB covering the serving cell of the UE, the eNB covering the serving cell of the UE establishes a radio access bearer of the UE on at least one secondary cell. The MME sends an AMBR of the UE in the primary eNB covering the serving cell of the UE and an AMBR of the UE in a secondary eNB to the primary eNB. The primary eNB sends the AMBR of the secondary eNB to the corresponding secondary eNB. The technical solutions of the present disclosure can make total rate of all non-GBR services of the UE be not larger than the UE-AMBR when the UE has multiple S1 bearers or one S1 bearer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for supporting UE access control. A base station is informed by a ProSe Function via a MME or informed by the MME of information indicating whether a UE is authorized for a D2D service. The base station performs an access control to the UE according to the information indicating whether the UE is authorized for the D2D service. The present disclosure further provides a method in which a source base station informs a target base station of the information indicating whether the UE is authorized for a D2D service. The target base station performs an access control according to the information.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for obtaining a UE counting result. The method includes: if a UE receives a UE counting message and a service corresponding to a service identifier comprised in the UE counting message is a GCSE service transmitted via a MBMS carrier, establishing, by the UE, a RRC connection; sending a UE counting response via the RRC connection; or, sending, by the UE, a RRC establishing message, and configuring a reason of establishing the RRC as MBMS UE counting. The present invention also provides a method for obtaining a UE counting result, a method and apparatus for suspending data transmission. By using the present invention, when the UE needs to receive the GCSE service, the MCE may obtain a correct counting result and not make wrong decision no matter whether the UE is in the RRC connected mode or in the idle mode. Therefore, the UE does not need to establish the point-to-point channel, and interruption of the data transmission and unnecessary power consumption are avoided.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for supporting ProSe configuration for a UE. In the method, a radio network node receives a ProSe configuration requirement transmitted from a UE, a ProSe function (ProSe Function), a source radio network node of the UE or a core network node to request ProSe configuration for the UE. The radio network node performs the ProSe configuration for the UE according to the ProSe configuration requirement.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of anonymously reporting minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements. According to the method, a mobility management entity (MME) obtains MDT data anonymity configuration which indicates whether MDT measurements are to be reported anonymously at a type allocation code (TAC) level; sends a TAC of a UE to a trace collection entity (TCE) if the MDT data anonymity configuration indicates MDT measurements are to be reported anonymously at the TAC level; sends an international mobile subscriber identification (IMSI) or an international mobile equipment identity and software version (IMEISV) of the UE to the TCE if the MDT data anonymity configuration indicates other information, e.g. Trace, is adopted for anonymously reporting MDT measurements. The present invention enables an MME to send different identities of a UE to the TCE according to different requirements for anonymity to implement anonymous reporting of MDT measurements.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing a Random Access CHannel (RACH) in a mobile communication system are provided. A method performed by the UE includes determining, when a signal indicative of a resolution of contention in a RACH procedure is received from a network before a contention resolution timer expires, that the RACH procedure has been successfully completed; receiving, from the network, after the successful completion of the RACH procedure, a UE information transmit request; and transmitting, to the network, in response to receipt of the UE information transmit request, a message including contention information of the completed RACH procedure.
