Apparatus and method for managing connections in wireless communication system
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to a pre-5 th -Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4 th -Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure provides a method for connection set-up and corresponding master base station and secondary base station. The method includes: transmitting a secondary base station setup request message to a secondary base station, and receiving a secondary base station setup response message which comprises mapping information from a quality of service (QoS) flow to a data radio bearer (DRB). The present disclosure further provides a method of requesting a secondary cell group (SCG) configuration and corresponding master base station and secondary base station. The method includes: transmitting a secondary base station modification request message for requesting SCG configuration information, the secondary base station modification request message carrying indication information for indicating that a master base station needs to obtain SCG configuration information; and receiving a secondary base station modification response message transmitted by the secondary base station, the secondary base station modification response message carrying the SCG configuration information. The present disclosure further provides methods and devices for controlling a session operation and a corresponding computer readable medium.
1. A method performed by a master base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a secondary base station, a first message for requesting the secondary base station to allocate resources for a dual connectivity (DC) operation; and
receiving, from the secondary base station, a second message, after transmitting the first message; and
transmitting, to the secondary base station, a third message, after receiving the second message,
wherein the first message comprises a quality of service (QoS) flow identifier (ID) and a data radio bearer (DRB) ID,
wherein the second message comprises the QoS flow ID and a new DRB ID corresponding to the QoS flow ID, and
wherein the third message comprises tunnel information for the new DRB ID, the tunnel information comprising an internet protocol (IP) address and a tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message comprises information indicating a list of DRB IDs that is usable by the secondary base station for the OoS flow identified by the OoS flow ID.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message comprises:
an ID of a packet data unit (PDU) session associated with the resources,
an ID of a flow associated with the resources, and
QoS parameters related to the QoS flow.
4. A method performed by a secondary base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a master base station, a first message for requesting the master base station to allocate resources for a dual connectivity (DC) operation;
transmitting, to the master base station, a second message, after transmitting the first message; and
receiving, from the master base station, a third message, after receiving the second message,
wherein the first message comprises quality of service (QoS) flow identifier (ID) and a data radio bearer (DRB) ID,
wherein the second message comprises the QoS flow ID and a new DRB ID corresponding to the QoS flow ID, and
wherein the third message comprises tunnel information for the new DRB ID, the tunnel information comprising an internet protocol (IP) address and a tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID).
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first message comprises information indicating a list of DRB IDs that is usable by the master base station for the QoS flow identified by the QoS flow ID.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first message comprises:
an ID of a packet data unit (PDU) session associated with the resources,
an ID of a flow associated with the resources, and
QoS parameters related to the QoS flow.
7. A master base station in a wireless communication system, the master base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
transmit, to a secondary base station, a first message for requesting the secondary base station to allocate resources for a dual connectivity (DC) operation;
receive, from the secondary base station, a second message, after transmitting the first message; and
transmit, to the secondary base station, a third message, after receiving the second message,
wherein the first message comprises a quality of service (OoS) flow identifier (ID) and a data radio bearer (DRB) ID,
wherein the second message comprises the QoS flow ID and a new DRB ID corresponding to the QoS flow ID, and
wherein the third message comprises tunnel information for the new DRB ID, the tunnel information comprising an internet protocol (IP) address and a tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID).
8. The master base station of claim 7 , wherein the first message comprises information indicating a list of DRB IDs that is usable by the secondary base station for the QoS flow identified by the QoS flow ID.
9. The master base station of claim 7 , wherein the first message comprises:
an ID of a packet data unit (PDU) session associated with the resources,
an ID of a flow associated with the resources, and
QoS parameters related to the QoS flow.
