COVERAGE ADAPTATION AND IMPACT ON IDLE USER EQUIPMENT (UE) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17847574 titled 'COVERAGE ADAPTATION AND IMPACT ON IDLE USER EQUIPMENT (UE)
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on a user equipment (UE) that can communicate with a network entity within a coverage area associated with a wireless cell. The UE receives an indication of a modification in the coverage area and also receives one or more thresholds. These thresholds help the UE determine whether it should receive an updated system information (SI) message associated with the modification or skip receiving it. The UE makes this determination based on the thresholds provided.
- User equipment (UE) can communicate with a network entity within a coverage area associated with a wireless cell.
- UE receives an indication of a modification in the coverage area.
- UE also receives one or more thresholds.
- The thresholds help the UE decide whether to receive an updated system information (SI) message associated with the modification or skip receiving it.
- UE makes the determination based on the thresholds provided.
Potential Applications
This technology can have various potential applications in the field of wireless communications, including:
- Mobile networks: Enhancing the efficiency and reliability of communication between user equipment and network entities.
- Internet of Things (IoT): Enabling seamless connectivity and communication between IoT devices and network entities.
- Smart cities: Facilitating wireless communication infrastructure for various smart city applications such as smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, and environmental monitoring.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several problems in wireless communications, such as:
- Efficient SI updates: Providing a mechanism for user equipment to determine whether it needs to receive updated system information messages, reducing unnecessary data transmission.
- Seamless coverage area modifications: Allowing user equipment to adapt to changes in coverage areas without interruption or loss of connectivity.
- Threshold-based decision making: Enabling user equipment to make informed decisions based on predefined thresholds, optimizing network resources and improving overall performance.
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits in the field of wireless communications, including:
- Improved efficiency: Reducing unnecessary data transmission by allowing user equipment to skip receiving certain system information messages.
- Seamless connectivity: Enabling user equipment to adapt to coverage area modifications without disruption, ensuring uninterrupted communication.
- Optimized network resources: Allowing user equipment to make informed decisions based on thresholds, optimizing the utilization of network resources and improving overall network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a network entity within a first coverage area associated with a first wireless cell. The UE may receive a system information (SI) update indication that indicates a modification of the first coverage area to a second coverage area. The SI update indication may also include one or more thresholds that the UE may use to determine whether the UE is to receive an updated SI message associated with the modification of the first coverage area to the second coverage area, or whether the UE is to skip receiving the updated SI message associated with the modification of the first coverage area to the second coverage area. The UE then determines whether to receive the updated SI message based on the one or more thresholds.
