SIGNALING FOR INTER-RAT HANDOVER OF REDCAP UES
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240414600 titled 'SIGNALING FOR INTER-RAT HANDOVER OF REDCAP UES
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are disclosed for signaling reduced capability (redcap) wireless communication device (wcd) capability during inter-radio access technology (rat) handover. in one embodiment, a method performed by a target network node for inter-rat handover of a wcd from a source network node of a first rat to the target network node of a second rat comprises receiving, at the target network node, a message in association with preparation or execution of a handover of a wcd from the source network node of the first rat to the target network node of the second rat, the message comprising information about one or more capabilities of the wcd. the method further comprises determining that the wcd is a redcap wcd based on the information about the one or more capabilities of the wcd and sending an indication that the wcd is a redcap wcd to a core network node.
