TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING CELL MOBILITY INFORMATION DURING HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17528773 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING CELL MOBILITY INFORMATION DURING HANDOVER

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices are described in this patent application to enhance wireless communications by including layer 1 (L1) or layer 2 (L2) cell mobility information within a layer 3 (L3) handover command. Here are the key points:

  • A base station instructs a user equipment (UE) to measure a first set of cells by transmitting signaling.
  • The UE performs the measurement on the first set of cells and sends an indication of the measurement results back to the base station.
  • Based on the indication, the base station sends an L3 handover command to the UE.
  • The L3 handover command includes L1 or L2 cell mobility information, indicating a second set of cells for the UE to use after completing the handover.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing the handover process in wireless communications.
  • Improving the efficiency and reliability of cell mobility management.
  • Enabling seamless transitions between different sets of cells for a UE.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional handover processes may lack information about the best cells for a UE to connect to after the handover.
  • Inefficient handover decisions can lead to dropped calls or degraded network performance.
  • Lack of L1 or L2 cell mobility information can result in suboptimal cell selection for a UE.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables more informed handover decisions by including L1 or L2 cell mobility information in the handover command.
  • Enhances the overall performance and reliability of wireless communications.
  • Facilitates seamless transitions between different cells, improving the user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support inclusion of layer 1 (L1) or layer 2 (L2) cell mobility information within a layer 3 (L3) handover command. A base station may transmit, to the UE, signaling indicating for the UE to perform a measurement on a first set of cells. The UE may perform the measurement on the first set of cells and may transmit, to the base station, an indication associated with the measurement on the first set of cells. In response to the indication, the base station may transmit, to the UE, an L3 handover command, where the L3 handover command may include L1 or L2 cell mobility information, such as an indication of a second set of cells that the UE is to use for L1 or L2 cell mobility after completing the L3 handover command.
