Abstract: A mechanism is disclosed for performing data plane based routing during a handover. The mechanism includes executing a user plane function (UPF). An uplink packet is received from a user equipment (UE) anchored to a fifth generation radio access network (5G) base station (gNB). The uplink packet includes a change destination command, a destination field, and metadata including a destination address for the uplink packet. A change destination command in the uplink packet is executed by setting the destination field of the uplink packet to the destination address in the metadata. The uplink packet is transmitted to the destination address set in the destination field.

Abstract: A source access node that is configured to hand over a wireless User Equipment (UE) to a target access node. A radio wirelessly receives a measurement report from the UE that characterizes signal strength for the target access node, the signal strength for the source access node, and UE capabilities for the UE. Baseband circuitry determines to hand over the UE to the target access node based on the measurement report. The baseband circuitry receives UE load information from the target access node that indicates UE loads for the frequency bands of the target access node. The baseband circuitry determines UE capabilities for the overloaded frequency bands. The baseband circuitry transfers handover instructions to the UE that direct the UE to remove UE capabilities for the overloaded frequency bands. The UE updates the UE capabilities list and hands over to a non-overloaded frequency band of the target access node.
