MANAGING GROUP CONFIGURATIONS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838054 titled 'MANAGING GROUP CONFIGURATIONS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication in a non-terrestrial network. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A user equipment (UE) receives control signaling that provides a configuration for a target network node in a non-terrestrial network.
- The configuration includes two parts: a first UE-group configuration and a UE-specific configuration.
- The UE-specific configuration contains integrity information for the first UE-group configuration.
- The UE performs a connection operation based on the trust status of the first UE-group configuration.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various areas, including:
- Non-terrestrial networks: The methods and systems described can be used in wireless communication systems that utilize non-terrestrial networks, such as satellite networks or high-altitude platforms.
- User equipment (UE) configuration: The invention allows for efficient and secure configuration of UE devices in a non-terrestrial network, ensuring reliable communication between the UE and the network node.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several problems in wireless communication systems:
- Configuration integrity: By including integrity information in the UE-specific configuration, the system ensures that the configuration received by the UE is trustworthy and has not been tampered with.
- Trust-based connection: The UE performs a connection operation based on the trust status of the first UE-group configuration, allowing for secure and reliable connections to the network node.
Benefits
The described methods, systems, and devices offer several benefits:
- Enhanced security: By including integrity information, the system ensures that the configuration received by the UE is authentic, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or tampering.
- Efficient configuration: The separation of UE-group and UE-specific configurations allows for more efficient and targeted configuration of user equipment, improving overall system performance.
- Reliable connections: The trust-based connection operation ensures that the UE establishes connections only with trusted configurations, enhancing the reliability of wireless communication in non-terrestrial networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive first control signaling indicating a configuration associated with a target network node in a non-terrestrial network. The configuration may include a first UE-group configuration and a UE-specific configuration including integrity information for the first UE-group configuration. The UE may perform a connection operation based on a trust status of the first UE-group configuration.
