COORDINATED HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18029361 titled 'COORDINATED HANDOVER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for coordinated handover in a system where a first user equipment (UE) is communicating with a second UE using a sidelink channel, and both UEs are being served by a source cell.

• The first UE detects a handover event, indicating that it should trigger the source cell to initiate a handover from the source cell to a neighbor cell.
• In response to detecting the handover event, the first UE transmits a handover event message to the second UE, indicating that it has detected the handover event.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for coordinated handover in a system comprising a first UE () communicating with a second UE () using a sidelink channel, wherein both the first UE and the second UE are being served by a source cell (). The method includes the first UE detecting () a handover event indicating that the first UE should trigger the source cell to initiate a handover of the first UE from the source cell to a neighbor cell. The method further includes, as a result of the first UE detecting the handover event, the first UE transmitting () to the second UE a handover event message indicating that the first UE has detected the handover event.
