US 12,598,511 B2 · Segmentation for coordination among multiple nodes in dual connectivity

Abstract

A method performed by a first node. The method is for handling a message to a third node. The message comprises content from at least a first second node of one or more second nodes. The first node handles a radio communication with the third node in coordination with the one or more second nodes. The first node sends the message to the third node, segmented or not segmented. Whether the message is sent segmented or not segmented is based on: i) whether or not a size of the message exceeds a size limit, ii) whether or not the third node supports segmentation of messages, iii) whether or not the first node supports segmentation of messages, and iv) whether or not at least the first second node of the one or more second nodes supports segmentation of messages.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a first node, the method being for handling a message to a third node, the message comprising content from at least a first second node of one or more second nodes, wherein the first node handles a radio communication with the third node in coordination with the one or more second nodes, the first node operating in the wireless communications network, the method comprising:

sending the message to the third node, wherein the message is one of segmented and not segmented, and wherein whether the message is sent segmented or not segmented is based on:
i. whether or not a size of the message exceeds a size limit,
ii. whether or not the third node supports segmentation of messages,
iii. whether or not the first node supports segmentation of messages, and
iv. determining, based on an indication received from the first second node, whether or not at least the first second node of the one or more second nodes supports segmentation of messages.

determining whether or not to segment the message based on:
i. whether or not the size of the message exceeds a size limit,
ii. whether or not the third node supports segmentation of messages,
iii. determining, based on an indication received from the first node, whether or not the first node supports segmentation of messages, and
iv. whether or not at least the first second node of the one or more second nodes supports segmentation of messages, and
initiating processing the message based on a fourth result of the determination.
