- the present invention relates to a base station handover technique in mobile communication, and in particular, to a method, a user equipment, a base station, and a storage medium for transmitting data in a base station handover.
- the Third Generation Partnership Projects (3GPP) believes that the deployment of small cells and their improvement in capabilities are one of the important topics in the development of communication networks in the future; here, the small cells are referred to as low-power base stations.
- the established cell is different from the cell Macro Cell established by the macro base station, and the small cell is generally called a Small Cell.
- a heterogeneous network deployment scenario generally recognized by the communications industry is to deploy a low-power node within the coverage or boundary of a macro base station, and the macro base station and the low-power node together form an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (Evolved).
- the Access Network (RAN) in the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) system provides a combined data transmission service for User Equipment (UE).
- UE User Equipment
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the system architecture in a typical heterogeneous network deployment scenario.
- MME Mobility Management Entity
- CN Core Network
- a base station having an S1-MME interface and being regarded as a mobility anchor by the CN is called a master base station (MeNB); a node connected to the MeNB by an X2 interface and providing additional radio resources to the UE is called a secondary base station.
- SeNB secondary base station
- a wireless Uu interface is built between the UE and the MeNB and the SeNB, and control plane signaling and user plane data can be transmitted on the Uu interface.
- the UE is considered to be in a dual connectivity state (Dual Connectivity, DC).
- DC Dual Connectivity
- This system architecture enables two (or even multiple) base stations to simultaneously provide radio resources for one UE and simultaneously perform communication services. Therefore, the data throughput of the network is greatly improved. Every effort can be made to meet the growing demand for data rates.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a user plane transmission mode and a protocol stack in a typical heterogeneous network deployment scenario. As shown in FIG. 2, the following row data is taken as an example.

- RLC Radio Link Control
- the transmission mode of the Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer #1 is the same as the standard mode of the single-link system, that is, the Serving Gateway (S-GW) through the S1-U interface.
- the data packet is sent to the MeNB, and the MeNB sends the data packet to the UE through the Uu port.
- the wireless protocol stack is only located in the MeNB and only uses the bearer of the MeNB resource, which is called the primary base station cell group bearer (Master Cell Group). Bearer, MCG bearer).
- the transmission of the EPS bearer #2 is to send the data packet to the SeNB through the S1-U interface between the S-GW and the SeNB, and then the SeNB sends the data packet to the UE through the Uu interface; the wireless protocol stack is completely located at the SeNB.
