Abstract

A network node and method performed thereby, for enabling determination, by a prediction function network node, of a change in QoS of a communication session of a UE. The method includes obtaining information related to the UE communication session, the information including an ID of the UE and an ID of the communication session. The method further comprises determining the target serving cell of the UE and providing the obtained information and an ID of the determined target serving cell to the prediction function network node, thereby enabling the prediction function network node to determine new QoS of the UE communication session when being served by the target serving cell. A prediction function network node and a method performed thereby, and a user equipment and a method performed thereby are also disclosed.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A source serving node, comprising:

processing circuitry configured to:
obtain information related to a communication session of a user equipment, comprising:
an identity reference of the user equipment,
an identity reference of the communication session, and
an indication of the capability of the user equipment to maintain at least two Quality of Service profiles,
determine a target serving cell of the user equipment,
provide an identity reference of the determined target serving cell, and
provide information concerning the indication of the capability of the user equipment to maintain at least two Quality of Service profiles;
and
a transmitter configured to:
transmit the obtained information related to the communication session of the user equipment and the identity reference of the determined target serving cell to a prediction function network node thereby enabling the prediction function network node to determine a new Quality of Service of the communication session of the user equipment when being served by the determined target cell;
and
transmit, to the determined target cell in a handover request, the information concerning the indication of the capability of the user equipment to maintain the at least two Quality of Service profiles,
wherein the source serving node is associated with a source serving cell of the user equipment.
