Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for optimized cell update for a multi-connectivity user equipment are provided. One method includes, when a new cell of a second radio interface is selected according to cell reselection parameters provided in a system information block, sending a message, by the user equipment, to inform the network of cell update via a connection on a first radio interface. The user equipment is radio resource control (RRC) connected, the user equipment is connected to a first cell in the first radio interface and is connected to a second cell in the second radio interface.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- when a new cell of a second radio interface is selected according to cell reselection parameters provided in a system information block, sending a message, by a user equipment, to inform the network of cell update via a connection on a first radio interface;
- wherein the user equipment is radio resource control (RRC) connected, and
- wherein the user equipment is connected to a first cell in the first radio interface and is connected to a second cell in the second radio interface.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
- when a new cell of a second radio interface is selected according to cell reselection parameters provided in a system information block, send a message to inform a network of cell update via a connection on a first radio interface;
- wherein the apparatus is radio resource control (RRC) connected, and
- wherein the apparatus is connected to a first cell in the first radio interface and is connected to a second cell in the second radio interface.
A computer program, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program configured to control a processor to perform a process, comprising:
- when a new cell of a second radio interface is selected according to cell reselection parameters provided in a system information block, sending a message, by a user equipment, to inform the network of cell update via a connection on a first radio interface;
- wherein the user equipment is radio resource control (RRC) connected, and
- wherein the user equipment is connected to a first cell in the first radio interface and is connected to a second cell in the second radio interface.
