Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to establish a radio connection with an end device; obtain context information pertaining to the end device; analyze the context information; determine whether to not provide handover to the end device in response to the analysis of the context information; and transmit, to the end device, multiple thresholds that indicate when a partial handover is to be invoked and when a completive handover is to be invoked, in response to a determination that handover is to be provided to the end device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a wireless station, a radio connection with an end device;
- obtaining, by the wireless station, context information pertaining to the end device, wherein the context information includes at least one of a type of end device or an access mode used by the end device for the establishment of the radio connection;
- analyzing, by the wireless station, the context information;
- determining, by the wireless station and based on the analyzing, whether to not provide handover to the end device;
- and
- transmitting, by the wireless station and to the end device, multiple thresholds that indicate when a partial handover is to be invoked and when a completive handover is to be invoked, based on determining that handover is to be provided to the end device.
A wireless station comprising:
- a communication interface;
- a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor executes the instructions to:
- establish, via the communication interface, a radio connection with an end device;
- obtain context information pertaining to the end device, wherein the context information includes at least one of a type of end device or an access mode used by the end device for the establishment of the radio connection;
- analyze the context information;
- determine whether to not provide handover to the end device in response to the analysis of the context information;
- and
- transmit, via the communication interface and to the end device, multiple thresholds that indicate when a partial handover is to be invoked and when a completive handover is to be invoked, in response to a determination that handover is to be provided to the end device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a device, which when executed cause the device to:
- establish a radio connection with an end device;
- obtain context information pertaining to the end device, wherein the context information includes at least one of a type of end device or an access mode used by the end device for the establishment of the radio connection;
- analyze the context information;
- determine whether to not provide handover to the end device in response to the analysis of the context information;
- and
- transmit, to the end device, multiple thresholds that indicate when a partial handover is to be invoked and when a completive handover is to be invoked, in response to a determination that handover is to be provided to the end device.
