Abstract: The application relates to the removal of one of the links in multi-flow HSPA but the proposed method is also applicable to normal HSDPA operation during handover. In particular the application aims at minimizing the negative impact of a removed radio link, i.e. drop of packets and/or delays. According to the proposed method, in which the radio link to be removed is via a first Node B NB1 (RL Removal Req), the NB1 ends the pending data transmission and informs the controlling RNC about the data which was not transmitted, in particular in the form of the lowest sequence number in its buffer. Subsequently, the RNC decides, based on this sequence number, which data packets need to be retransmitted on a second radio link via a second node B NB2, and instructs NB2 accordingly (Data Forwarding).

Abstract: A network, for example a master node interworking with other network nodes, determines a reliability target for radio communications, and computes a first single multi-link reliability metric with a multi-mode device across a first set of multiple radio links that are simultaneously active for the multi-mode device. In the examples that reliability metric enumerates an overall probability to successfully communicate a certain volume of digital data within a certain time constraint. The network further compares the first single multi-link reliability metric to the reliability target, and in response to that comparing the network signals the multi-mode device with 1) an indication of the first set of multiple radio links that if utilized by the multi-mode device simultaneously would satisfy the reliability target, and/or with 2) a notification of the single multi-link reliability metric associated with the first set.
