Method and device for changing communication path

Abstract

A method and device for changing a communication path, the method comprising: a first base station receiving a first message sent by a first terminal, and the first message is used to request that the first terminal change from a first path independently accessing a network to a second path through a second In the second path for the terminal to access the network, the first base station provides services for the first terminal; the first base station determines a second base station that provides services for the second terminal according to the first message, and the first base station obtains configuration information from the second base station, wherein , the configuration information is used for the first terminal to access the network through the second terminal; the first base station sends the configuration information to the first terminal. Therefore, it is possible to change communication paths for different complex application scenarios.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method and device for changing a communication path. Background technique [0002] The smartphone industry has matured, and the market is about to become saturated. Wearable devices (WD) are one of the future strategic development directions of various companies. [0003] At present, the industry has launched a watch that can be installed with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, so that the watch can be directly connected to the network. When the WD is directly connected to the network, the battery and antenna in the WD are the main research problems of the WD due to the limitation of the small size of the WD. specific, [0004] First, due to the small capacity of the WD battery, direct network communication with the base station will lead to fast battery consumption and short standby time; [0005] Second, WD generally has a special shape and antenna desi...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Second, WD generally has a special shape and antenna design is difficult. At present, only a single antenna can be realized. Therefore, compared with multi-antenna devices, it takes more time and consumes more network resources to send the same amount of data.

However, this solution is only applicable to the situation where the WD and the relay UE reside on the same eNB. In other complex application scenarios, the communication path cannot be changed through simple reconfiguration.
