Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a source access node receives a security policy for a User Equipment (UE) from a wireless network core. The wireless network core and the UE establish security context over the source access node. The wireless network core and the UE exchange user data over the source access node based on the security context. The source access node handsover the wireless UE to a target access node and transfers the security policy for the wireless UE to the target access node. The target access node signals the wireless network core to establish new security context for the wireless UE responsive to the security policy. The wireless network core and the wireless UE establish new security context over the target access node. The wireless network core and the UE exchange additional user data over the target access node based on the new security context.

Abstract: A system, method and non-transitory computer readable media for facilitating adaptive anchor layer mobility in a 5G NSA implementation. In one arrangement, a handover modulation criterion involving relevant trigger parametrics of an anchor cell node serving a UE and a target cell node may be compared against a tunable threshold parameter indicative of the effect of the target cell on the anchor cell quality. If the handover modulation criterion does not exceed the tunable threshold value, a quality degradation prediction with respect to the UE may be executed to estimate a likelihood of service failure for the UE. Responsive to determining that the likelihood of service failure does not exceed a probability threshold, handover of the UE to the target cell may be suppressed.
