Abstract
The techniques include receiving a handover request from a user device connected to a first access network and identifying a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) serving the user device. The user device provides to the N3IWF, measurement report indicating network conditions. The techniques further include receiving the measurement report from the N3IWF and determining whether a measurement in the measurement report is above a predetermined threshold. If the measurement is above the predetermined threshold, the handover request is accepted to enable the user device to connect to a second access network.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- one or more non-transitory storage mediums configured to provide stored computer-readable instructions, the one or more non-transitory storage mediums coupled to one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a handover request from a user device connected to a first access network;
- identify a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) serving the user device, the user device providing to the N3IWF, measurement report indicating network conditions;
- receive the measurement report from the N3IWF;
- determine whether a measurement in the measurement report is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- in response to determine that the measurement is above the predetermined threshold, accepting the handover request to enable the user device to connect to a second access network.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving a handover request from a user device connected to a first access network;
- identifying a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) serving the user device, the user device providing to the N3IWF, measurement report indicating network conditions;
- receiving the measurement report from the N3IWF;
- determining whether a measurement in the measurement report is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- in response to determining that the measurement is above the predetermined threshold, accepting the handover request to enable the user device to connect to a second access network.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a handover request from a user device connected to a first access network;
- identifying a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) serving the user device, the user device providing to the N3IWF, measurement report indicating network conditions;
- receiving the measurement report from the N3IWF;
- determining whether a measurement in the measurement report is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- in response to determining that the measurement is above the predetermined threshold, accepting the handover request to enable the user device to connect to a second access network.
