NODE HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965183 titled 'NODE HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for performing uninterrupted node handover in a communication network.
- The source secondary node receives first handover information and decides to perform an uninterrupted node handover.
- During the handover process, the source secondary node processes the first data it receives to obtain second data and sends it to a terminal device.
- The source secondary node also processes the first data to obtain third data and sends fourth data to the terminal device through a target secondary node.
- This method reduces communication delay for the terminal device and improves the user experience.
Potential Applications
- Mobile communication networks
- Wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
Problems Solved
- Reducing communication delay for terminal devices during node handover
- Improving user experience by ensuring uninterrupted communication during handover
Benefits
- Reduced communication delay for terminal devices
- Improved user experience with uninterrupted communication during handover
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application provide a node handover method and an apparatus. A source secondary node receives first handover information and determines to perform an uninterrupted node handover. The source secondary node performs, in a process of the uninterrupted node handover, first processing on first data received by the source secondary node, to obtain second data, and sends the second data to a terminal device. The source secondary node performs second processing on the first data to obtain third data in the process of the uninterrupted node handover, and sends fourth data to the terminal device via a target secondary node. According to some embodiments provided in this application, a communication delay of the terminal device can be reduced, and user experience of the terminal device can be improved.
