    摘要: A source base station determines that a wireless device is to be handed over from the source base station to a target base station and sends, to the target base station in a handover signaling message, a current mapping between two or more flow identifiers and a first data radio bearer used for communication between the wireless device and the source base station. The source base station receives, from the target base station, an indication that the current mapping is to be used and hands over the wireless device from the source base station to the target base station.

    摘要: A method performed by a network node, for handling User Equipment, UE, capabilities of a UE in a wireless communications network is provided. The network node sends (501) to the AMF node (130), a first indication indicating whether or not the network node (110) has capabilities to store UE capabilities associated with the UE capability ID. The network node receives (502) from an AMF node, a second indication indicating whether or not UE capabilities associated with a capability identity of the UE, UE capability ID, are UE available in the AMF node. The network node decides (503) whether explicit UE capabilities associated with the UE capability ID shall be retrieved from the UE or the AMF node based on the received first and second indication.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method for operating a radio access network (RAN) node of a wireless communication network. The method comprises: receiving a connection resume request message from a wireless terminal at the RAN node instructing the RAN node to establish a connection with the wireless terminal; providing release information for the wireless terminal at the RAN node; determining a state of a reachability request parameter at the RAN node; receiving uplink data from the wireless terminal at the RAN node, wherein the uplink data is associated with the connection resume request message; and transmitting a connection release message to the wireless terminal after receiving the uplink data responsive to the release information for the wireless terminal and determining the state of a reachability request parameter at the RAN node, wherein responsive to the state of the reachability request parameter at the RAN node having a first state, instructing the RAN node to not immediately transmit a connection release message to release and/or suspend the connection with the wireless terminal.

    摘要: Methods supporting a Quality of Service (QoS) update during a Handover (HO) procedure are disclosed herein. More specifically, methods performed by a Radio Access Network (RAN) node and a Core Network (CN) node for supporting a QoS update during an HO are provided. The methods disclosed herein can facilitate flexible New Generation (NG)-RAN (NG-RAN) deployment with a mixture of NG-RAN nodes capable or incapable of supporting additional parameters in an HO procedure. The methods also make it possible to provide smooth NG-RAN software updates between different software releases.
