步骤6、目标节点向终端发送RRC重配消息(RRC Reconfiguration Complete),该RRC重配置消息用于传输单连接配置。
其中,上述单连接配置可以包括目标小区配置,从而在步骤6之后,终端可以应用目标小区配置(Apply Target Cell configuration)。
步骤7、终端向目标节点发送中断源节点连接指示(Indication of breaking the source connection(HO complete)),即指示切换完成。
步骤8、终端与源节点中断连接。
步骤9、终端与目标节点传输数据。
进一步,可以如图7所示,步骤2中的切换请求可以包括源小区组配置(source–CG(cell group)configuration),以及还可以包括终端能力信息(UE capability)。而上述切换响应可以包括源小区组和目标小区组的双连接配置(DC configuration for source-CG and target-CG),以及终端能力划分信息(UE capability split)。其中,上述源小区组配置包括源小区配置,而上述目标小区组配置包括目标小区配置,上述终端能力划分信息可以表示划分至源小区组和目标小区组的终端能力,即在双连接中终端在源小区组和目标小区组对应的终端能力可以不同。
