MOBILITY ENHANCEMENTS: CHO EXECUTION CONDITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17643535 titled 'MOBILITY ENHANCEMENTS: CHO EXECUTION CONDITION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage medium for conditional handover (CHO). CHO is a process in which a user equipment (UE) switches from one base station to another based on certain conditions and measurements.

  • The UE receives a CHO configuration from a first base station. The CHO configuration includes one or more candidate cell configurations associated with a second base station and one or more execution conditions associated with the first base station.
  • The CHO configuration also includes one or more CHO measurements, which can be L1 beam or cell specific measurements or L3 beam specific measurements.
  • The UE detaches from the first cell associated with the first base station and synchronizes with a second cell associated with the second base station if the CHO measurements satisfy the execution conditions.
  • The second cell is selected from the candidate cell configurations provided in the CHO configuration.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile communication networks
  • Cellular network handover processes
  • Improving network connectivity and performance

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient handover process between base stations
  • Seamless transition for user equipment between cells
  • Optimal selection of candidate cells based on measurements and conditions

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network reliability and performance
  • Reduced interruptions and dropped calls during handover
  • Enhanced user experience with seamless connectivity


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage medium for conditional handover (CHO) are provided. An example method at a UE may include receiving, from a first base station, a CHO configuration comprising one or more CHO candidate cell configurations associated with a second base station and one or more execution conditions associated with the first base station and including one or more CHO measurements, the one or more CHO measurements comprising one or more L1 beam or cell specific measurements or one or more L3 beam specific measurements. The example method may further include detaching from a first cell associated with the first base station and synchronizing with a second cell associated with the second base station based on the one or more CHO measurements satisfying the one or more execution conditions, the second cell being one cell associated with the one or more CHO candidate cell configurations.
