Abstract
A Distributed Unit (DU) (2) of a base station sends a first message to a Central Unit (1) of the base station in response to detecting initiation of a conditional mobility of a radio terminal (3) from a first cell served by the DU (2) to a second cell. It is thus for example possible to allow a Central Unit (CU) to be aware of satisfaction of an execution condition of a conditional mobility (or initiation of the conditional mobility).
Claims22
A distributed unit of a base station, the distributed unit comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to send a first message to a central unit of the base station in response to detecting initiation of a conditional mobility of a radio terminal from a first cell served by the distributed unit to a second cell.
A method for a distributed unit of a base station, the method comprising:
- sending a first message to a central unit of the base station in response to detecting initiation of a conditional mobility of a radio terminal from a first cell served by the distributed unit to a second cell.
-20. (canceled)
A central unit of a base station, the distributed unit comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- control a conditional mobility of a radio terminal from a first cell served by the distributed unit to a second cell;
- and
- receive from the distributed unit a first message which the distributed unit sends in response to detecting initiation of the conditional mobility.
-36. (canceled)
