Abstract
A method performed by a first communication node for handling state change of a communication link in a communications network. The first communication node subscribes to state information indicating a state change of a communication link between a UE and a second communication node. The first communication node obtains, from the second communications node, the state information indicating the state change.
Claims12
A method performed by a second communication node for handling state change of a communication link in a communications network, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from a first communication node, a subscription to state information indicating a state change of the communication link between a User Equipment (UE) and the second communication node;
- detecting that a state of the communication link has changed from a connected state to a disconnected state or from the disconnected state to the connected state;
- and
- providing, to the first communication node, the state information indicating the state change.
A second communication node for handling state change of a communication link in a communications network, the second communication node comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the second communication node to:
- obtain, from a first communication node, a subscription to state information indicating a state change of the communication link between a User Equipment (UE) and the second communication node;
- detect that a state of the communication link has changed from a connected state to a disconnected state or from the disconnected state to the connected state;
- and
- provide, to the first communication node, the state information indicating the state change.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a computer program which, when executed by a processor, causes a second communication node for handling state change of a communication link in a communications network to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, from a first communication node, a subscription to state information indicating a state change of the communication link between a User Equipment (UE) and the second communication node;
- detecting that a state of the communication link has changed from a connected state to a disconnected state or from the disconnected state to the connected state;
- and
- providing, to the first communication node, the state information indicating the state change.
