  • the present invention relates to packet data unit (PDU) session continuity in ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) scenarios. More specifically, the present invention exemplarily relates to measures (including methods, apparatuses and computer program products) for realizing packet data unit (PDU) session continuity in ultra-reliable low- latency communications (URLLC) scenarios.
  • measures including methods, apparatuses and computer program products
  • the present specification generally relates to ultra-reliable low-latency communications.
  • An important issue in relation to ultra-reliable low-latency communications is provisioning of redundancy for improving system reliability and availability.
  • Two approaches in relation to user plane redundancy are worked out.
  • redundant user plane paths may be provided based on dual connectivity.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of an example of a system environment in particular illustrating a high-level architecture according to such approach.
  • Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of an example of a system environment in particular illustrating this approach mapped to 5GS architecture.
  • FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of an example of a system environment in particular illustrating a high-level architecture according to such approach.
  • Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of an example of a system environment in particular illustrating this approach mapped to 5GS architecture.
  • hardware redundancy (multiple UEs) is implemented on the device side (e.g. host device) to improve system reliability against UE hardware failures.
  • This approach with two UEs per host provides full redundancy of user plane and possibly also control plane paths through 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) domain, which offers high reliability against failures in the entities along the paths.
  • 3GPP 3 rd Generation Partnership Project
  • any UE may happen e.g. due to overheating caused by e.g. continuous data transfer, hardware component failure, or a physical damage.
  • overheating caused by e.g. continuous data transfer, hardware component failure, or a physical damage.
  • some additional failure causes, such a running out of battery, are of concerned.
  • a problem underlying the present invention arises in a scenario when a UE-side host comprises two terminals (i.e. UEs), as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10 and one terminal (i.e. UE) fails.
  • a fail-back to the dual connectivity approach is an alternative assuming the remaining UEs have dual connectivity capability.
  • the system may fail-back to the dual connectivity operation. That is the other UE(s), which is(are) still functioning, will request a PDU session establishment for setting up the redundant user plane path. Assuming that the UE has the dual connectivity capability, the second PDU session may be established for the UE according to the dual connectivity procedure.
  • setup of the PDU session as well as dual connectivity in the RAN afterwards may take some time. This may not be critical for initial setup when no redundant data paths are available. However, when the redundant data paths have already been established, unavailability or interruption of one redundant path may impact the overall reliability performance especially if the working user plane path is not as reliable as required during the new PDU session establishment.
