Early State Handling Assistance for Efficient RRC State Change - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17768674 titled 'Early State Handling Assistance for Efficient RRC State Change

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining whether early state handling assistance should be reported in a request for a connection to a network, based on configuration received by a User Equipment (UE). The UE then requests the connection to the network, either reporting the early state handling assistance or not, based on the received configuration. The base station receives the request, determines if early state handling assistance is reported, and performs reconfigurations accordingly.

  • User Equipment (UE) receives configuration for early state handling assistance information.
  • UE determines whether to report early state handling assistance in a network connection request.
  • Base station transmits configuration and receives UE's request.
  • Base station determines if early state handling assistance is reported in the request.
  • Base station performs reconfigurations based on the presence or absence of early state handling assistance reporting.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks to optimize the connection establishment process and improve network performance.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient handling of early state assistance information in network connection requests. 2. Streamlining the communication between User Equipment and base stations for better network performance.

Benefits

1. Improved network efficiency. 2. Enhanced user experience with faster connection establishment. 3. Optimal utilization of network resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing network performance in 5G networks for faster and more reliable connections.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for handling network connection requests in previous generations of mobile networks, such as 4G LTE.

What are the potential security implications of implementing this technology?

Implementing this technology could raise concerns about the privacy and security of the early state handling assistance information transmitted between the User Equipment and the base station. Ensuring secure communication protocols and encryption methods would be crucial to protect this sensitive data.

How does this technology compare to existing methods of handling early state assistance in network connections?

This technology offers a more efficient and streamlined approach to handling early state assistance in network connections compared to traditional methods. By dynamically determining whether to report this information based on received configuration, the process is optimized for better network performance and user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A UE receives configuration of early state handling assistance information and determines whether early state handling assistance should be reported in a request for a connection to a network. The UE requests the connection to the network, performing one of the following: reporting the early state handling assistance from the network using RRC message(s); or not reporting the early state handling assistance from the network, by the UE using RRC message(s) without an indication of early state handling assistance. A base station transmits the configuration, receives the RRC message(s), and determines whether the message(s) include reporting of the early state handling assistance. The base station performs one of the following: for the RRC message(s) including reporting of early state handling assistance, performing RRC reconfigurations with early state handling processing; or for the RRC message(s) without reporting of early state handling assistance, performing RRC reconfigurations without the early state handling processing.
