APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MAINTAINING BROADCAST SERVICE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17788629 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MAINTAINING BROADCAST SERVICE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to a method for ensuring uninterrupted broadcast service in mobile devices. The method involves the user equipment (UE) transmitting a broadcast service interest indication to the serving cell during mobility to facilitate the continuous reception of the broadcast service.
- The patent application focuses on communication with cells to receive a broadcast service and maintain continuity during device mobility.
- The user equipment (UE) sends a broadcast service interest indication to the serving cell to ensure uninterrupted reception of the broadcast service.
- The method aims to provide a seamless transition between cells while receiving the broadcast service.
- The invention addresses the challenge of maintaining broadcast service continuity during device mobility scenarios.
- The patent application proposes a solution that allows users to enjoy uninterrupted broadcast services while moving between different cells.
Potential Applications
This technology can have various applications in the field of mobile communication and broadcasting. Some potential applications include:
- Mobile television: Users can watch television programs on their mobile devices without interruptions while moving between different cell areas.
- Radio broadcasting: Continuous radio broadcast reception can be ensured even when users are on the move.
- Emergency alerts: Broadcast service continuity can be crucial for receiving emergency alerts and warnings in real-time, especially during mobility.
Problems Solved
The technology described in the patent application addresses the following problems:
- Interruptions in broadcast service: When a user moves between different cells, there can be interruptions in the reception of broadcast services, leading to a poor user experience.
- Lack of continuity during mobility: Existing systems may not provide a seamless transition between cells, resulting in a loss of broadcast service during device mobility.
- Inefficient communication with cells: Without a proper mechanism for indicating broadcast service interest during mobility, the user equipment may not receive the necessary resources to maintain uninterrupted reception.
Benefits
The proposed technology offers several benefits:
- Uninterrupted broadcast service: Users can enjoy continuous reception of broadcast services even when moving between different cells.
- Enhanced user experience: By ensuring seamless transition and continuity, the technology improves the overall user experience of broadcast services on mobile devices.
- Real-time emergency alerts: The technology enables users to receive emergency alerts and warnings without any interruptions, ensuring their safety and well-being.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects described herein relate to communicating with one or more cells for receiving a broadcast service, and providing broadcast service continuity in device mobility scenarios. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) can transmit a broadcast service interest indication to a serving cell to facilitate receiving the broadcast service during mobility to provide the broadcast service continuity.
