Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method (30) for radio bearer release performed in a base station node (2) of a communication system (5). The base station node (2) provides one or more radio bearers to a user equipment (1), and the communication system (5) comprises a serving gateway (4). The method (30) comprises: receiving (31) an error message from the serving gateway (4), the error message indicating a faulty radio bearer; awaiting (32), for a delay time, additional error messages indicating faulty radio bearers; and releasing (33) the one or more radio bearers being indicated as faulty.
Claims15
A method for radio bearer release performed in a base station node of a communication system, the base station node providing one or more radio bearers to a user equipment, the communication system comprising a serving gateway, the method comprising:
- receiving an error message from the serving gateway, the error message indicating a faulty radio bearer,
- awaiting, for a delay time, additional error messages indicating faulty radio bearers, and
- releasing the one or more radio bearers being indicated as faulty.
A base station node of a communication system for radio bearer release, the base station node being configured to provide one or more radio bearers to a user equipment, the communication system comprising a serving gateway, the base station node comprising a processor being configured to:
- receive an error message from the serving gateway, the error message indicating a faulty radio bearer,
- await, for a delay time, additional error messages indicating faulty radio bearers, and
- release the one or more radio bearers being indicated as faulty.
A computer program for a base station node for radio bearer release, the base station node providing one or more radio bearers to a user equipment, the communication system comprising a serving gateway, and a mobility management node, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on a processor of the base station node, causes the processor to perform the steps of:
- receiving an error message from the serving gateway, the error message indicating a faulty radio bearer,
- awaiting, for a delay time, additional error messages indicating faulty radio bearers, and
- releasing the one or more radio bearers being indicated as faulty.
