OPTIMIZED SCHEDULING STRATEGIES FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY AND LINK AGGREGATION

摘要

Technology for an eNodeB to perform optimized scheduling strategies for dual connectivity and LWA with a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The eNodeB can select one or more scheduling strategies for communicating one or more packet data units (PDUs) from a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer to a plurality of lower link layers for communication to the UE. The eNodeB can associate each one of the one or more PDUs with a sequence number (SN). The eNodeB can signal a transceiver of the eNodeB to transmit to the UE the one or more PDUs and associated sequence numbers (SNs) on the plurality of lower link layers according to the one or more scheduling strategies to enable the UE to identify a dropped packet source from the plurality of lower link layers based on the one or more scheduling strategies.
