Abstract
A method performed by a network node for handling configuration of a data connection for a UE in a communication network. The network node estimates a probability of a handover of the UE from a source node to a target node. The network node further estimates a handover latency (E) of the UE. At a time based on the estimated probability, the network node modifies the configuration of the data connection to accommodate for a handover interruption time delay based on the estimated handover latency (E).
Claims14
A method performed by a network node for handling configuration of a data connection for a user equipment (UE) in a communication network, the method comprising:
- estimating a probability of a handover of the UE from a source node to a target node;
- estimating a handover latency (E) of the UE;
- and
- at a time based on the estimated probability, modifying the configuration of the data connection to accommodate for a handover interruption time delay based on the estimated handover latency (E), modifying the configuration of the data connection associated to one or more of:
- a lowering of a target latency (T) of link adaptation of the transmission of the data;
- a lowering of a block error rate (BLER) target;
- and
- a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication.
A network node for handling configuration of a data connection for a user equipment (UE) in a communication network, the network node being configured to:
- estimate a probability of a handover of the UE from a source node to a target node;
- estimate a handover latency (E) of the UE;
- and
- at a time based on the estimated probability, modify the configuration of the data connection to accommodate for a handover interruption time delay based on the estimated handover latency (E), modifying the configuration of the data connection associated to one or more of:
- a lowering of a target latency (T) of link adaptation of the transmission of the data;
- a lowering of a block error rate (BLER) target;
- and
- a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication.
