COMMUNICATION METHOD, SOURCE BASE STATION, TARGET BASE STATION, CORE NETWORK DEVICE, AND TERMINAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364932 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD, SOURCE BASE STATION, TARGET BASE STATION, CORE NETWORK DEVICE, AND TERMINAL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a communication method and system that allows for the handover of a session from a source base station to a target base station. The method involves the source base station sending a handover request to the target base station, requesting the handover of a session of a terminal device. The handover request includes the identifier of the session to be handed over and indication information of a network slice corresponding to the session. The source base station then receives a handover response message from the target base station.
- The invention enables the seamless transfer of a session from one base station to another.
- The handover request includes information about the session and the network slice, allowing for efficient handover.
- The handover response message confirms the successful handover of the session.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile communication networks: This technology can be applied in mobile networks to ensure uninterrupted communication during handovers between base stations.
- Internet of Things (IoT): The method can be used in IoT networks to enable smooth handover of devices between different base stations, ensuring continuous connectivity.
- Virtual networks: The invention can be implemented in virtual networks to facilitate the transfer of sessions between different virtual base stations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Seamless handover: The invention solves the problem of interrupted communication during handovers by providing a method for transferring sessions between base stations.
- Efficient handover: The inclusion of session and network slice information in the handover request allows for a more efficient handover process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience: The seamless handover of sessions ensures uninterrupted communication for users, enhancing their overall experience.
- Enhanced network performance: The efficient handover process reduces latency and improves network performance, leading to better connectivity and reliability.
- Flexibility in network management: The ability to transfer sessions between base stations provides network operators with greater flexibility in managing their networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a communication method, a source base station, a target base station, a core network device, and a terminal device, where the method includes: sending, by a source base station, a handover request to a target base station, where the handover request is used to request to hand over a session of a terminal device from the source base station to the target base station, and the handover request includes an identifier of a session requested to be handed over and indication information of a network slice corresponding to the session; and receiving, by the source base station, a handover response message from the target base station.
