Method and device for processing quality of service parameter in handover scenario
View Patent ↗During the handover, a source base station transmits a handover request message carrying a QoS flow-based QoS parameter and/or a RB-based QoS parameter to a target base station. The target base station performs the admission control in accordance with the QoS flow-based QoS parameter or the RB-based QoS parameter, and transmits back to the source base station a handover request response message including information of a QoS flow or RB admitted successfully or unsuccessfully. The target base station performs, in accordance with the received information of the QoS flow, a convergence operation on the QoS flows which have a same QoS requirement, and generates a convergence mapping relationship from the QoS flows to the RBs and a corresponding RB configuration parameter. In addition, the target base station transmits the information of the QoS flow having been admitted to a core network.
