Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de l'invention concernent un procédé et un appareil de transmission de données capables de résoudre le problème de taux de perte de paquets élevés pendant une procédure de transfert intercellulaire de station de base selon l'état de la technique. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : un dispositif de réseau d'accès source détermine un délai de transfert, le délai de transfert étant une durée pendant laquelle le dispositif de réseau d'accès source transmet un paquet de données à un dispositif de réseau d'accès cible ; et le dispositif de réseau d'accès source envoie les premières informations du délai de transfert. Dans les modes de réalisation de l'invention, un dispositif de réseau d'accès source envoie les informations d'un délai de transfert pendant une procédure de transfert intercellulaire de station de base afin qu'un dispositif de réseau d'accès cible puisse obtenir les informations du délai de transfert. De cette manière, les délais de transfert des trajets de transfert peuvent être pris en considération pendant une planification d'interface radio, ce qui permet d'améliorer la stabilité et la fiabilité des services sensibles au retard durant la procédure de transfert intercellulaire de station de base.
