Abstract

A first base station receives, from a second base station, a message comprising at least one parameter of a first cell of the second base station. The at least one parameter indicates that the first cell supports at least one vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service. A handover decision for a wireless device is made. The first base station sends, to the second base station, a handover request for the wireless device based on the handover decision and the message.

Claims (61)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first base station from a second base station comprising a plurality of cells, a message comprising a served cell information element for each cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the served cell information element for each cell indicates whether a respective cell supports at least one vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service;

making, by the first base station, a handover decision for a wireless device; and

sending, by the first base station to the second base station, a handover request for the wireless device based on the handover decision and the message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sending the handover request to the second base station is based on the message indicating that the second base station supports the at least one V2X service.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises a first identifier of at least a first cell of the plurality of cells.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises:

a second identifier of a second cell of the plurality of cells of the second base station; and

at least one second parameter of the second cell indicating whether the second cell supports one or more V2X services.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises at least one second parameter of a second cell of the second base station, the at least one second parameter indicating that the second cell supports one or more V2X services.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises at least one second parameter of a second cell of the second base station, the at least one second parameter indicating that the second cell does not support one or more V2X services.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises at least one parameter of a first cell indicating that the first cell supports the at least one V2X service via a wireless interface between the wireless device and the second base station.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter further indicates that the first cell supports at least one of:

a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) service;

a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) service;

a vehicle-to-network (V2N) service;

a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) service;

a sidelink-based V2X service;

a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) service; or

a single cell point to multi-point (SC-PTM) service.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one parameter further indicates at least one of:

the first cell supports only V2X services;

the second base station is associated with at least one roadside unit (RSU) for V2X services;

a public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with the first cell supports only V2X services; or

a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI) associated with the first cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first base station from the wireless device, a radio resource control message comprising at least one information element indicating that the wireless device supports one or more V2X services, wherein the first base station makes the handover decision further based on the at least one information element.

11. A first base station comprising:

one or more processors;

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

receive, from a second base station comprising a plurality of cells, a message comprising a served cell information element for each cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the served cell information element for each cell indicates whether a respective cell supports at least one vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service;

make a handover decision for a wireless device; and

send, to the second base station, a handover request for the wireless device based on the handover decision and the message.

12. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the sending of the handover request to the second base station is based on the message indicating that the second base station supports the at least one V2X service.

13. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the message further comprises a first identifier of at least a first cell of the plurality of cells.

14. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the message further comprises:

a second identifier of a second cell of the plurality of cells of the second base station; and

at least one second parameter of the second cell indicating whether the second cell supports one or more V2X services.

15. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the message further comprises at least one second parameter of a second cell of the second base station, the second parameter indicating that the second cell supports one or more V2X services.

16. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the message further comprises at least one second parameter of a second cell of the second base station, the second parameter indicating that the second cell does not support one or more V2X services.

17. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the message comprises at least one parameter of a first cell indicating that the first cell supports the at least one V2X service via a wireless interface between the wireless device and the second base station.

18. The first base station of claim 17 , wherein the at least one parameter further indicates that the first cell supports at least one of:

a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) service;

a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) service;

a vehicle-to-network (V2N) service;

a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) service;

a sidelink-based V2X service;

a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) service; or

a single cell point to multi-point (SC-PTM) service.

19. The first base station of claim 17 , wherein the at least one parameter further indicates at least one of:

the first cell supports only V2X services;

the second base station is associated with at least one roadside unit (RSU) for V2X services;

a public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with the first cell supports only V2X services; or

a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI) associated with the first cell.

20. A system comprising:

a second base station; and

a first base station comprising:

one or more processors;

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

receive, from the second base station comprising a plurality of cells, a message comprising a served cell information element for each cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the served cell information element for each cell indicates whether a respective cell supports at least one vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service;

make a handover decision for a wireless device; and

send, to the second base station, a handover request for the wireless device based on the handover decision and the message.
