Abstract:
A method and apparatus for analytics-driven wireless device session context handover in an operator cloud are provided. According to one aspect, some embodiments include a method for a network node to determine whether to perform a wireless device session context handover. The method includes determining, at the network node, a first cost of not handing over a wireless device session context based at least in part on a calculated estimate of time the wireless device will stay associated with a current base station and a calculated estimate of a cost per unit time of not performing the handover. The method also includes determining, at the network node, a second cost of handing over the wireless device session context based at least in part on at least one of context-related data, base station load, backhaul load and backhaul delay.

Claim (Index 43):
An apparatus for determining whether to perform a user equipment, wireless device, session context handover, the apparatus including:\n a non-handover cost determination module configured to determine a first cost of not handing over a wireless device session context based on a calculated estimate of time the wireless device will stay associated with a current base station and a calculated estimate of a cost per unit time of not performing the handover; a handover cost determination module configured to determine a second cost of handing over the wireless device session context based at least in part on at least one of context-related data, base station load, backhaul load and backhaul delay; a comparison module configured to compare the first and second cost; a decision module configured to decide to handover the wireless device session context based on the comparison of the first cost of not handing over the wireless device session context and the second cost of handing over the wireless device session context; and a handover module configured to send a handover trigger when a handover decision is made.
