Abstract

A first base station receives a UE assistance information message from a wireless device. The UE assistance information message comprises traffic pattern parameters for SPS traffic of the wireless device. The traffic pattern parameters comprise: a first traffic periodicity of a first traffic of the one or more SPS traffic; a first timing offset of the first traffic; and a first message size of the first traffic. The first base station sends, to a second base station, a request message for a handover of the wireless device. The request message comprises the traffic pattern parameters. The first base station receives from the second base station, a handover request acknowledge message indicating SPS configuration parameter(s) for SPS radio resources determined based at least on the traffic pattern parameters. The first base station transmits to the wireless device, a handover command message indicating the SPS configuration parameter(s).

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first base station from a second base station, a request message for a handover of a wireless device, wherein the request message comprises traffic pattern parameters for one or more semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) traffic of the wireless device, the traffic pattern parameters comprising:

a first traffic periodicity of a first traffic of the one or more SPS traffic;

a first timing offset of the first traffic; and

a first message size of the first traffic;

determining, based at least on the traffic pattern parameters, at least one SPS configuration parameter for SPS radio resources;

sending, to the second base station, a handover request acknowledge message indicating the at least one SPS configuration parameter;

receiving, from the wireless device, a random access (RA) preamble associated with the handover of the wireless device;

determining a subframe in a plurality of subframes based at least on the first traffic periodicity and the first timing offset; and

transmitting, in the subframe, to the wireless device, an SPS activation control command indicating activation of the SPS radio resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the second base station, the traffic pattern parameters from the wireless device via a UE assistance information message.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the second base station to the wireless device, a handover command message indicating the at least one SPS configuration parameter in response to receiving the handover request acknowledge message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one SPS configuration parameter comprises an SPS periodicity for the SPS radio resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SPS activation control command comprises a resource block assignment determined based on the first message size.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the SPS activation control command is after a transmission of an RA response message in response to the RA preamble.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the SPS activation control command is via a downlink control information.

8. A base station comprising:

one or more processors;

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

receive, from a second base station, a request message for a handover of a wireless device, wherein the request message comprises traffic pattern parameters for one or more semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) traffic of the wireless device, the traffic pattern parameters comprising:

a first traffic periodicity of a first traffic of the one or more SPS traffic;

a first timing offset of the first traffic; and

a first message size of the first traffic;

determine, based at least on the traffic pattern parameters, at least one SPS configuration parameter for SPS radio resources;

send, to the second base station, a handover request acknowledge message indicating the at least one SPS configuration parameter;

receive, from the wireless device, a random access (RA) preamble associated with the handover of the wireless device;

determine a subframe in a plurality of subframes based at least on the first traffic periodicity and the first timing offset; and

transmit, in the subframe, to the wireless device, an SPS activation control command indicating activation of the SPS radio resources.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the second base station receives the traffic pattern parameters from the wireless device via a UE assistance information message.

10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the second base station transmits to the wireless device a handover command message indicating the at least one SPS configuration parameter in response to receiving the handover request acknowledge message.

11. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the at least one SPS configuration parameter comprises an SPS periodicity for the SPS radio resources.

12. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the SPS activation control command comprises a resource block assignment determined based on the first message size.

13. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the base station to transmit the SPS activation control command after a transmission of an RA response message in response to the RA preamble.

14. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the base station to transmit the SPS activation control command via a downlink control information.

15. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first base station from a wireless device, a UE assistance information message comprising traffic pattern parameters for one or more semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) traffic of the wireless device, the traffic pattern parameters comprising:

a first traffic periodicity of a first traffic of the one or more SPS traffic;

a first timing offset of the first traffic; and

a first message size of the first traffic;

sending, to a second base station, a request message for a handover of the wireless device, the request message comprising the traffic pattern parameters, wherein the traffic pattern parameters enable the second base station to determine a subframe in a plurality of subframes for transmission of an SPS activation control command to the wireless device based at least on the first traffic periodicity and the first timing offset;

receiving, from the second base station, a handover request acknowledge message indicating at least one SPS configuration parameter for SPS radio resources determined based at least on the traffic pattern parameters; and

transmitting, to the wireless device, a handover command message indicating the at least one SPS configuration parameter.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the at least one SPS configuration parameter comprises an SPS periodicity for the SPS radio resources.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving, by the second base station from the wireless device, a random access (RA) preamble associated with the handover of the wireless device;

determining a subframe in a plurality of subframes based at least on the traffic pattern parameters; and

transmitting, by the second base station to the wireless device, an SPS activation control command in the subframe indicating activation of the SPS radio resources.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the SPS activation control command comprises a resource block assignment determined based on the first message size.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the transmitting of the SPS activation control command is after a transmission of an RA response message in response to the RA preamble.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the transmitting of the SPS activation control command is via a downlink control information.
