Abstract:
Handover in software defined networking. The present invention provides apparatuses, methods, computer programs, computer program products and computer-readable media usable for handover in software defined networking, for example X2 and/or S1-MME handover at source eNB and target eNB. The method includes requesting, by a first entity in a first plane, a first entity in a second plane to report a parameter to the first entity in the first plane, receiving, at the first entity in the first plane, the reported parameter, and forwarding, by the first entity in the first plane, the parameter to a second entity in the first plane.

Claim (Index 11):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, perform at least one of a first method, a second method, a third method and a fourth method, wherein the first method comprises:\n requesting, at a first entity in a first plane, a first entity in a second plane to report a parameter to the first entity in the first plane; receiving, at the first entity in the first plane, the reported parameter; forwarding, by the first entity in the first plane, the parameter to a second entity in the first plane; and requesting the reported parameter to be sent to a controller located between the first entity in the first plane and the first entity in the second plane, wherein the first entity is a source entity which initiates a handover and the second entity is a target entity to which the handover is performed, wherein the parameter is a count value, wherein the entity is a base station, and wherein the first plane is a control/management plane and the second plane is a user plane; wherein the second method comprises: receiving, at a first entity in a second plane, a request for reporting a parameter; and forwarding the parameter to a first entity in a first plane, wherein the first entity is a source entity which initiates a handover, wherein the parameter is a count value, wherein the entity is a base station, and wherein the first plane is a control/management plane and the second plane is a user plane; wherein the third method comprises: receiving, at a second entity in a first plane, a message including a parameter; retrieving the parameter from the received message; and forwarding the retrieved parameter to a second entity in a second plane, wherein the second entity is a target entity to which a handover is performed, wherein the parameter is a count value, wherein the entity is a base station, and wherein the first plane is a control/management plane and the second plane is a user plane; and wherein the fourth method comprises: receiving, at a second entity in a second plane, a message including a parameter; and storing the parameter, wherein the second entity is a target entity to which the handover is performed, wherein the parameter is a count value, wherein the entity is a base station, and wherein the second plane is a user plane.
