ACCESS CONTROL OF USER EQUIPMENTS FOR INACTIVE DIRECT TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441803 titled 'ACCESS CONTROL OF USER EQUIPMENTS FOR INACTIVE DIRECT TRANSMISSIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that can process a service configuration signal received from a base station. The service configuration signal indicates the service configurations associated with data transmission that the UE is allowed to transmit during its INACTIVE state.

• The UE has one or more processors that process a service configuration signal received from a base station.
• The service configuration signal contains information about the service configurations associated with data transmission.
• The UE determines the allowed service configurations for transmission during its INACTIVE state based on the processed service configuration signal.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to enhance the efficiency of data transmission during the INACTIVE state of user equipment.
• It can be used in IoT devices to optimize power consumption and network resources by allowing specific service configurations during the INACTIVE state.

Problems Solved

• The technology solves the problem of inefficient data transmission during the INACTIVE state of user equipment by providing a mechanism to determine and allow specific service configurations.
• It addresses the challenge of optimizing power consumption and network resources in IoT devices by enabling selective data transmission during the INACTIVE state.

Benefits

• Improved efficiency in data transmission during the INACTIVE state of user equipment, leading to enhanced overall network performance.
• Optimized power consumption and network resource utilization in IoT devices, resulting in extended battery life and improved scalability of IoT networks.

Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication system is disclosed. The UE comprises one or more processors configured to process a service configuration signal received from a base station associated therewith. In some aspects, the service configuration signal comprises an indication of one or more service configurations associated with a data transmission that are allowed to be transmitted by the UE during an INACTIVE state of the UE. The one or more processors is further configured to determine the one or more service configurations associated with the data transmission that are allowed to be transmitted by the UE during the INACTIVE state of the UE, based on processing the service configuration signal.
