Abstract
Description
図1は、実施形態に係るLTEシステムの構成図である。
実施形態に係るLTEシステムは、上りリンクにおいて二重接続方式をサポートする。
Split Bearerが設定されている場合、MeNB200-1は、経路#Aを用いて、UE100に直接下りデータを送信しつつ、経路#Bを用いて、SeNB200-2経由でUE100に下りデータを送信する。
図5を用いて、MeNB200-1が、Split Bearerの経路#Bを解放し、通常の接続方式に遷移する動作(動作例1)を説明する。
次に、図6を用いて、MeNB200-1が、Split Bearerの経路#Bを解放し、通常の接続方式に遷移する別の動作(動作例2)を説明する。
図7を用いて、UE100が、Split Bearerの経路#Bの異常を検出した際の動作を説明する。
(C)動作例3
図8を用いて、SeNB200-2が、Split Bearerの経路#Bを解放する動作(動作例3)を説明する。
(D)動作例4
図9を用いて、MeNB200-1が、Split Bearerの経路#Bを解放する動作(動作例4)を説明する。
次に、図10を用いて、MeNB200-1が、Split Bearerの経路#Bを解放する動作(動作例5)を説明する。図10の実施形態では、Split Bearerの経路#Bを解放後に、SeNB200-2向けの未送信上りデータの送信先をMeNB200-1に変更しない。図9の実施形態と異なる部分について説明する。
上述した実施形態(動作例3)において、SeNB200-1は、MeNB200-1に解放要求を送信した後からMeNB200-1から解放要求に対する応答信号を受信するまでに、UE100に送信した下りデータを特定する情報を、MeNB200-1に通知してもよい。
