Abstract

A self-optimization method in a radio communication system is disclosed. The method comprises: determining, by a second node, a type of secondary node (SN) change failure based on a first message received from a first node, and transmitting, by the second node, a second message to a node that triggers a SN change to perform a self-optimization configuration.

Claims (24)

1. A method of a master node (MN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first secondary node (SN), a first message to trigger a change of the first SN, the first message including a list of information on primary secondary cell (PSCell) for a user equipment (UE);

transmitting, to a second SN, a second message to request an addition of the second SN based on the first message;

transmitting, to the second SN, a third message to request a release of the second SN; and

receiving, from the second SN, an acknowledge message for the third message, the acknowledge message including list of information on PSCell and a duration of time the UE stayed in the PSCell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acknowledge message for the third message further includes a cell identity of the PSCell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the UE, information indicating secondary cell group (SCG) failure, wherein the information including at least one of information of the SN where a radio connection failure occurs, information of the SN in a last SN change procedure, and a type of radio connection failure.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the target SN, a fourth message to report the SCG failure, wherein the fourth message includes at least one of SCG failure information, an identity allocated for the UE by the MN, an identity allocated for the UE by the SN, information of a source SN of a SN change, information of a SN where a SCG radio connection failure occurs, and mobility information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message further includes SN mobility information related to the change of the SN.

6. A master node (MN) in a wireless communication system, the MN comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:

receive, from a first secondary node (SN), a first message to trigger a change of the first SN, the first message including a list of information on primary secondary cell (PSCell) for a user equipment (UE),

transmit, to a second SN, a second message to request an addition of the second SN based on the first message,

transmit, to the second SN, a third message to request a release of the second SN, and

receive, from the second SN, an acknowledge message for the third message, the acknowledge message including list of information on PSCell and a duration of time the UE stayed in the PSCell.

7. The MN of claim 6 , wherein the acknowledge message for the third message further includes a cell identity of the PSCell.

8. The MN of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to control to:

receive, from the UE, information indicating secondary cell group (SCG) failure, wherein the information including at least one of information of the SN where a radio connection failure occurs, information of the SN in a last SN change procedure, and a type of radio connection failure.

9. The MN of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to control to:

transmit, to the target SN, a fourth message to report the SCG failure, wherein the fourth message includes at least one of SCG failure information, an identity allocated for the UE by the MN, an identity allocated for the UE by the SN, information of a source SN of a SN change, information of a SN where a SCG radio connection failure occurs, and mobility information.

10. The MN of claim 6 , wherein the first message further includes SN mobility information related to the change of the SN.
