==RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODE, RADIO TERMINAL, AND METHODS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18398605 titled 'RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODE, RADIO TERMINAL, AND METHODS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA THEREFOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application related to radio resource configuration in a network involving multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs).

* The patent involves a second RAN node sending radio resource configuration of a second RAT to a radio terminal via a first RAN node associated with a first RAT.
* The configuration includes at least one numerology different from a reference numerology, allowing for flexibility in configuring radio terminals in scenarios like Inter-RAT Dual Connectivity and handovers between different RATs.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* 5G networks
* Inter-RAT handovers
* Multi-RAT environments

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses issues such as:
* Seamless handovers between different RATs
* Efficient resource allocation in multi-RAT networks

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved network efficiency
* Enhanced user experience during handovers
* Better utilization of resources in multi-RAT environments

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Commercial applications of this technology could include:
* Telecommunications companies optimizing network performance
* Equipment manufacturers developing devices compatible with multiple RATs

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be related to similar techniques used in previous generations of mobile networks, such as LTE and 3G technologies.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does this technology impact network latency during handovers? ===
The article does not delve into the specific effects on network latency when implementing this technology.

=== What are the potential security implications of configuring radio terminals with different numerologies? ===
The article does not address the security aspects of configuring radio terminals with numerologies from different RATs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A second RAN node () associated with a second RAT sends a radio resource configuration of the second RAT to a radio terminal () via a first RAN node () associated with a first RAT. The radio resource configuration explicitly or implicitly indicates at least one numerology that is included in multiple numerologies supported by the second RAT and is different from a reference numerology. It is thus, for example, possible to allow a radio terminal to be configured with a numerology of a cell served by a secondary gNB or a target gNB in Inter-RAT Dual Connectivity between E-UTRA and NR and in a handover from E-UTRA to NR.
