Abstract
A technique relating to resource configuration in a wireless communication network. A terminal device in the wireless communication network receives information about supplemental resource from a source cell. Then the terminal device determines a time interval, in which the supplemental resource is available to the terminal device, in a transition period of a handover from the source cell to a target cell based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in the handover. In this way, the terminal device may use the supplemental resource during the handover.
Claims35
A method at least partially implemented at a terminal device in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- receiving information about supplemental resource from a source cell;
- and
- determining, based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in a handover from the source cell to a target cell, a time interval in a transition period of the handover, the supplemental resource being available to the terminal device in the determined time interval.
A method at least partially implemented at a network device in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- transmitting information about supplemental resource to a terminal device, to enable the terminal device to determine, based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in a handover of the terminal device, a time interval in a transition period of the handover, the supplemental resource being available to the terminal device in the determined time interval.
An apparatus at least partially implemented at a terminal device in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive information about supplemental resource from a source cell;
- and
- a controller configured to determine, based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in a handover from the source cell to a target cell, a time interval in a transition period of the handover, the supplemental resource being available to the terminal device in the determined time interval.
An apparatus at least partially implemented at a network device in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit information about supplemental resource to a terminal device, to enable the terminal device to determine, based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in a handover of the terminal device, a time interval in a transition period of the handover, the supplemental resource being available to the terminal device in the determined time interval.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions stored therein which, when executed on a processor of a device, cause the device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information about supplemental resource from a source cell;
- and
- determining, based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in a handover from the source cell to a target cell, a time interval in a transition period of the handover, the supplemental resource being available to the device in the determined time interval.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions stored therein which, when executed on a processor of a device, cause the device to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting information about supplemental resource to a terminal device, to enable the terminal device to determine, based on a timer associated with a random access procedure in a handover of the terminal device, a time interval in a transition period of the handover, the supplemental resource being available to the terminal device in the determined time interval.
