MANAGING TRAFFIC FLOWS DURING A HANDOVER PROCEDURE
A method performed by a source base station (e.g., a next generation node B (gNB)) for managing traffic flows during a handover procedure are provided. The method receives, from a core network (CN), first signaling including a value associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) set. The method prioritizes the PDU set based on the value. The method transmits, to a target gNB, second signaling including the value.
1 . A method performed by a source next generation node B (gNB) for managing traffic flows during a handover procedure, the method comprising:
receiving, from a core network (CN), first signaling comprising a value associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) set;
prioritizing the PDU set based on the value; and
transmitting, to a target gNB, second signaling comprising the value.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second signaling comprises a handover request message.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the value indicates a priority order of the PDU set.
4 . A source next generation node B (gNB) for managing traffic flows during a handover procedure, the source gNB comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor, and storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the source gNB to:
receive, from a core network (CN), first signaling comprising a value associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) set;
prioritize the PDU set based on the value; and
transmit, to a target gNB, second signaling comprising the value.
5 . The source gNB of claim 4 , wherein the second signaling comprises a handover request message.
6 . The source gNB of claim 4 , wherein the value indicates a priority order of the PDU set.
