WIRELESS COMMUNICATION HANDOVER PROCEDURE

Abstract:

A method includes communicating with a remote device using a first access node of an access network; determining, by a centralized stack node of the access network, that a quality of a first wireless communication link between the remote device and the first access node is below a threshold; identifying a second access node in the access network for which a quality of a second wireless communication link between the remote device and the second access node is above the threshold; responsive to identifying the second access node, updating, by a centralized controller of the stack node, an access node identifier associated with a connection with the remote device to be an identifier for the second access node; and communicating with the remote device using the second access node.
