Abstract
A network node includes: a control unit configured to terminate a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol); and a communication unit configured to perform communications on a C plane (Control Plane) with a network node that terminates an RRC (Radio Resource Control) via an SBI (Service Based Interface), perform communications on a U plane (User Plane) with a network node that terminates a U plane protocol of an N3 interface, and perform communications with a DU (Distributed Unit) via an F1 interface.
Claims6
A network node comprising:
- a control unit configured to terminate a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol);
- and
- a communication unit configured to perform communications on a C plane (Control Plane) with a network node that terminates an RRC (Radio Resource Control) via an SBI (Service Based Interface), perform communications on a U plane (User Plane) with a network node that terminates a U plane protocol of an N3 interface, and perform communications with a DU (Distributed Unit) via an F1 interface.
The network node as claimed in claim 3, wherein
- the communication unit configures information indicating that a destination is the network node that terminates the RRC in a request line or in a message header of an HTTP message to be transmitted.
The network node as claimed in claim 3, wherein
- the communication unit configures a priority of an HTTP message to be transmitted, based on a priority identifier that is configured in a UL-PDCP-PDU header.
A communication method performed by a network node, the communication method comprising:
- terminating a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol);
- and
- performing communications on a C plane (Control Plane) with a network node that terminates an RRC (Radio Resource Control) via an SBI (Service Based Interface), performing communications on a U plane (User Plane) with a network node that terminates a U plane protocol of an N3 interface, and performing communications with a DU (Distributed Unit) via an F1 interface.
