SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING CELLULAR MULTI-CONNECTIVITY

摘要

Systems and methods for managing multiple network connections for user equipment (UE) are disclosed. The systems and methods can monitor power headroom (PHR) reports on one or more networks. When the PHR report for a UE approaches a first predetermined level on a first network, the system can evaluate the UE for a predetermined amount of time. If during the predetermined amount of time, the PHR on the first network increases to a second predetermined level—i.e., to a level where the transmission power used by the UE is closer to a maximum transmission power that the UE can provide—the UE can be instructed to disconnect from the network. This can enable the UE to disconnect in a controlled manner rather than simply letting the connection “drop” due to radio link failure.
