Abstract:
Embodiments provide methods, computer programs and apparatuses 10, 30 for a base station transceiver 100 and a relay station transceiver 300 in a mobile communication network 400, which comprises the base station transceiver 100, a mobile transceiver 200 being associated with the base station transceiver 100 and a relay transceiver 300 being associated with the base station transceiver 100. The base station transceiver apparatus comprises a receiver 12 for receiving information on a handover request from the mobile transceiver 200, the information on the handover request indicating that the mobile transceiver 200 is in a situation in which a reception quality of the signals of the relay transceiver 300 would allow a re-association of the mobile transceiver 200 to the relay transceiver 300. The base station transceiver apparatus 10 further comprises a scheduler 14 for scheduling, subsequent to the reception of the handover request, the mobile transceiver 200 for transmission from the base station transceiver 100 to the mobile transceiver 200 on a radio resource on which transmission of the relay transceiver 300 is suspended. The apparatus 30 for the relay transceiver comprises a reception unit 32 for receiving information on a resource assignment from the base station transceiver 100 and a scheduling unit 34 for scheduling the mobile transceiver 220 for transmission or reception on a radio resource which is indicated in the information on the resource assignment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a radio resource controller (220a) for controlling radio resources of a serving radio access node (100a). The controller is configured to assign particular radio resources of the serving radio access node to a radio communication session established between the serving radio access node and a particular mobile station, and to push session information (UE_id; UE_ctx_ptr) of the radio communication session into a common data repository (320) accessible to a further radio resource controller (220b) controlling radio resources of a further radio access node (100b). The session information comprise a mobile identifier (UE_id) that may be used by the particular mobile station for resumption of the radio communication session, and further allow retrieval of contextual communication parameters (UE_ctx) used by the serving radio access node for radio communication with the particular mobile station during the radio communication session. The radio resource controller and the further radio resource controller would run on a common computer platform as two respective process instances. The computer platform would further hold the common data repository.
