Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses. According to some embodiments of the disclosure, a method includes: transmitting a signaling message to a first node on a backup backhaul route, the signaling message comprising an indication of a failure in a backhaul link including a second node different from the first node.
Claims20
A method performed by a third communication device, the method comprising:
- forwarding, from a first protocol stack of the third communication device associated with a first communication device, information associated with a failed backhaul link between the first communication device and the third communication device to a second protocol stack of the third communication device associated with a second communication device;
- transmitting a signaling message to a base station on a backup backhaul route, wherein the signaling message comprises an indication of the failed backhaul link between the first communication device and the third communication device, and wherein the indication of the failed backhaul link is transmitted during a message 3 of a random access procedure (RACH);
- and
- in response to transmitting the signaling message, receiving a reconfiguration message from the base station to reconfigure the third communication device.
1 more element
A base station, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:
- receive a signaling message from a third communication device on a backup backhaul route, wherein the signaling message comprises an indication of a failed backhaul link between a first communication device and the third communication device, and wherein the indication of the failed backhaul link is transmitted during a message 3 of a random access procedure (RACH);
- and
- in response to receiving the signaling message, transmit a reconfiguration message to the third communication device to reconfigure the third communication device.
3 more elements
A third communication device, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the third communication device to:
- forward, from a first protocol stack of the third communication device associated with a first communication device, information associated with a failed backhaul link between the first communication device and the third communication device to a second protocol stack of the third communication device associated with a second communication device;
- transmit a signaling message to a base station on a backup backhaul route, wherein the signaling message comprises an indication of the failed backhaul link between the first communication device and the third communication device, and wherein the indication of the failed backhaul link is transmitted during a message 3 of a random access procedure (RACH);
- and
- in response to transmitting the signaling message, receive a reconfiguration message from the base station to reconfigure the third communication device.
4 more elements
A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving a signaling message from a third communication device on a backup backhaul route, wherein the signaling message comprises an indication of a failed backhaul link between a first communication device and the third communication device, and wherein the indication of the failed backhaul link is transmitted during a message 3 of a random access procedure (RACH);
- and
- in response to receiving the signaling message, transmitting a reconfiguration message to the third communication device to reconfigure the third communication device.
