Abstract
Systems and methods for providing mobility robustness in a heterogeneous network may be provided. For example, information such as a physical cell identity (PCI) may be received from a network and/or an occurrence of an event or trigger may be detected. Based on the information or the occurrence of the event or trigger, a determination may be made as to whether a robustness situation may be configured to occur and/or whether to initiate a mobility robustness action. When a robustness situation may be configured to occur and/or a mobility robustness action may be configured to be initiated, the mobility robustness action may then be performed.
Claims20
A method for providing mobility robustness in a heterogeneous network, the method comprising:
- receiving information from a network;
- determining whether a robustness situation is configured to occur based on the received information;
- initiating a mobility robustness action when, based on the determination, the robustness situation is configured to occur.
A method for providing mobility robustness in a heterogeneous network, the method comprising:
- detecting an occurrence of an event or trigger;
- determining whether to initiate a mobility robustness action based on the occurrence of the event or trigger;
- and
- performing the mobility robustness action if, based on the determination, the mobility robustness action is configured to be initiated based on the occurrence of the event or trigger.
A method for providing mobility robustness in a heterogeneous network, the method comprising:
- receiving information associated with cells;
- determining whether the information associated with the cells provides an indication to apply a mobility robustness action;
- and
- applying the mobility robustness action, if based on the determination, the information associated with the cells indicates provides the indication to apply the mobility robustness action.
