Handover requests with network information
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for transmitting and/or receiving handover requests with network information. One method ( 1000 ) includes transmitting ( 1002 ) a handover request to a target device. The handover request includes: first information indicating that a source communication network corresponding to a source device is unable to support a predetermined quality of service; and second information corresponding to capacity of the source communication network. The method ( 1000 ) includes receiving ( 1004 ) a response to the handover request.
1. A method comprising:
transmitting a handover request to a target device, wherein the handover request comprises:
first information indicating that a source communication network corresponding to a source device is unable to support a predetermined quality of service; and
second information corresponding to capacity of the source communication network; and
receiving a response to the handover request.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target device comprises a target central unit, a target integrated access backhaul node, or a combination thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source communication network comprises a source backhaul link.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source device comprises a source central unit, a source integrated access backhaul node, or a combination thereof.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined quality of service corresponds to a type of communication service.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined quality of service comprises a latency, a bit rate, a deterioration level, or some combination thereof.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information is included in a cause information element comprising a latency problem of a backhaul link, a bit rate problem of the backhaul link, a deterioration of the backhaul link, or some combination thereof.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information comprises a maximum aggregated bit rate, a number of user devices served by the source device, or some combination thereof.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response to the handover request comprises a handover failure message.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the handover failure message indicates that a target communication network is unable to support the predetermined quality of service.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the handover failure message indicates an overload of the target communication network.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the indication of the overload of the target communication network is included in a cause information element.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the handover failure message indicates a limited capacity of the target communication network.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the indication of the limited capacity of the target communication network is included in a cause information element.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the target communication network comprises a target backhaul link.
16. An apparatus comprising:
a transmitter that transmits a handover request to a target device, wherein the handover request comprises:
first information indicating that a source communication network corresponding to a source device is unable to support a predetermined quality of service; and
second information corresponding to capacity of the source communication network; and
a receiver that receives a response to the handover request.
17. A method comprising:
receiving, at a target device, a handover request from a source device, wherein the handover request comprises:
first information indicating that a source communication network corresponding to the source device is unable to support a predetermined quality of service; and
second information corresponding to capacity of the source communication network; and
transmitting a response to the handover request.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the target device comprises a target central unit, a target integrated access backhaul node, or a combination thereof.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the source communication network comprises a source backhaul link.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the source device comprises a source central unit, a source integrated access backhaul node, or a combination thereof.
