INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY HANDOFF PROCEDURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17457483 titled 'INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY HANDOFF PROCEDURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication that involve a user equipment (UE) switching from one wireless network to another during a communication session. Here are the key points:

  • The UE initially communicates data using a first wireless network technology (e.g., LTE, NR, WLAN) and follows a specific set of performance parameters (e.g., codec, QoS, bitrate, bandwidth).
  • During the communication session, the UE performs an inter-RAT (Radio Access Technology) handover, meaning it switches from the first wireless network to a second wireless network.
  • After the handover, the UE sends a re-INVITE message over the second wireless network to inform the other party about the switch.
  • In response to the re-INVITE, the UE receives a second set of performance parameters from the other party.
  • The UE then continues to communicate data over the second wireless network, following the new set of performance parameters.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Seamless handover between different wireless networks, such as LTE to NR or WLAN, allowing uninterrupted communication for users.
  • Improved quality of service (QoS) during a communication session by adapting to the performance parameters of the new wireless network.
  • Enhanced flexibility for users to switch between different wireless networks based on availability or specific requirements.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming the challenge of maintaining a communication session while switching between different wireless networks.
  • Ensuring a smooth transition during inter-RAT handovers, minimizing disruptions or call drops.
  • Adapting to the performance capabilities of the new wireless network to optimize the communication experience.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Seamless and uninterrupted communication experience for users, even when switching between different wireless networks.
  • Improved call quality and reliability by adapting to the performance parameters of the new network.
  • Enhanced flexibility and mobility for users to utilize different wireless networks based on their needs or network availability.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, UE communicates data associated with a communication session over a first RAT (e.g., LTE, NR, WLAN, etc.) in accordance with a first set of performance parameters (e.g., codec, QoS, bitrate, bandwidth, etc.). UE performs, during the communication session, an inter-RAT handover from the first RAT to a second RAT (e.g., LTE, NR, WLAN, etc.). UE transmits a re-INVITE over the second RAT in response to the inter-RAT handover. UE receives an indication of a second set of performance parameters (e.g., codec, QoS, bitrate, bandwidth, etc.) in response to the re-INVITE. UE communicates data associated with the communication session over the second RAT in accordance with the second set of performance parameters.
