Slicing of Network Resources for Dual Connectivity using NR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18335501 Titled 'Slicing of Network Resources for Dual Connectivity using NR'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods performed by a first network node in a radio access network (RAN). The first network node determines a priority index associated with a user equipment (UE) and sends a request to a second network node to establish dual connectivity with the UE as a secondary node. The request includes the priority index. The abstract also mentions that there are other embodiments and methods performed by the second network node and other network nodes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments include methods performed by a first network node configured to operate in a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include determining a radio access technology (RAT)/Frequency Selection Priority (RFSP) index associated with a user equipment (UE) served by the first network node. Such methods include sending, to a second network node, a request for the second network node to establish dual connectivity with the UE as a secondary node (SN). The request includes the RFSP index. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by the second network node, as well as network nodes configured to perform such methods.
