Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution for MP communications. In one aspect of the solution, a terminal device receives, from a first network device serving the terminal device, a first reconfiguration message for mobility of the terminal device. The first reconfiguration message comprises a configuration for multiple paths related to a second network device. The terminal device accesses the second network device by establishing at least one of the multiple paths based on the first reconfiguration message. The terminal device transmits a reconfiguration complete message to the second network device.
Claims20
A terminal device for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one memory coupled with the at least one processor and configured to cause the terminal device to:
- receive, from a first network device serving the terminal device, a first reconfiguration message for mobility of the terminal device, wherein the first reconfiguration message comprises a configuration for multiple paths related to a second network device;
- access the second network device by establishing at least one of the multiple paths based on the first reconfiguration message;
- and
- transmit a reconfiguration complete to the second network device.
A first network device for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the first network device to:
- transmit, to a second network device, a request for mobility of a terminal device served by the first network device, wherein the request associated with multiple paths related to the second network device;
- and
- receive a response from the second network device based on the reception of the request, wherein the response comprises a configuration for at least one of the multiple paths.
A second network device for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the second network device to:
- receive, from a first network device, a request for mobility of a terminal device served by the first network device, wherein the request is associated with multiple paths;
- and
- transmit a response to the first network device based on the reception of the request, wherein the response comprises a configuration for at least one of the multiple paths.
A method performed by a terminal device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first network device serving the terminal device, a first reconfiguration message for mobility of the terminal device, wherein the first reconfiguration message comprises a configuration for multiple paths related to a second network device;
- accessing the second network device by establishing at least one of the multiple paths based on the first reconfiguration message;
- and
- transmitting a reconfiguration complete to the second network device.
