Patent ID: 10728882

Abstract:
A method for allocating an aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR) of a user equipment (UE) includes obtaining, by a master base station (MeNB), the AMBR of the UE (UE-AMBR), and obtaining, by the MeNB, information for allocating an AMBR of a secondary base station (SeNB), and allocating, the AMBR of the SeNB according to the information, wherein a sum of the AMBRs of the MeNB and the SeNB is not greater than the UE-AMBR. A method for coordinating aggregate bit rates of non-GBR services between base stations includes sending, by an SeNB, information for allocating an aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR) of the SeNB to an MeNB, and receiving, by the SeNB, the AMBR allocated by the MeNB.
