Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting information on user equipments (UEs) in a wireless communication system is provided. A first eNodeB (eNB) transmits information on a first type of UEs and information on a second type of UEs to a second eNB. The first type of UEs is UEs located around a cell border between a first cell, controlled by the first eNB, and a second cell, controlled by the second eNB. The second type of UEs is UEs located at the other part of coverage of the first cell and the second cell.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a partial handover procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. An eNodeB (eNB) of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) system determines E-UTRAN radio access bearers (E-RABs) to be offloaded to an access point (AP) of a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, and transmits an E-RAB release indication message, which includes a list of the E-RABs to be offloaded to the AP and a corresponding cause which is set to “Offload to WLAN”, to a mobility management entity (MME) of the 3GPP LTE system.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for establishing/modifying/releasing data radio bearers (DRBs) in a wireless communication system is provided. A master eNodeB (MeNB) in dual connectivity transmits a request message, which includes information on E-UTRAN radio access bearers (E-RABs) to be set up/modified/released, to a secondary eNB (SeNB) in dual connectivity through an X2 interface;\, and receives a response message, which includes radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration related information based on the E-RABs to be set up/modified/released, as a response to the request message from the SeNB through the X2 interface.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for switching off a cell for energy saving in a wireless communication system is provided. A first eNodeB (eNB) transmits information on quality of services (QoS) of user equipments (UEs), connected to the first eNB, to a macro eNB, and receives a list of recommended cells for handover of all or a part of the UEs. Then the first eNB performs handover of all or the part of the UEs with a second eNB which manages a cell included in the list of recommended cells, and switches off a cell managed by the first eNB.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting split availability of a cell in a wireless communication system is provided. A first eNodeB (eNB) may transmit a split availability of a first cell, managed by the first eNB, to neighbor eNBs. The split availability of the first cell may indicate whether the first cell supports cell split operation or not. Alternatively, the split availability of the first cell may indicate whether the first eNB supports an active antenna system (AAS).
