UE ENHANCEMENT PRIORITIZING 5G NR CELL SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919725 titled 'UE ENHANCEMENT PRIORITIZING 5G NR CELL SELECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to mechanisms for improving cell selection in mobile devices for 5G networks. The invention prioritizes cells that support the latest 5G New Radio (NR) technology.

  • The invention allows a mobile device to identify multiple cells in its vicinity that support different radio access technologies (RATs) and frequencies.
  • The mobile device determines the order in which to select these cells based on the supported RATs and frequency bands, giving priority to cells that support 5G NR.
  • The mobile device then selects a serving cell based on this prioritized order.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices that support 5G networks.
  • It can be used by network operators to enhance the performance and efficiency of their 5G networks.

Problems Solved

  • The invention addresses the challenge of efficiently selecting the most suitable cell for a mobile device in a 5G network.
  • It solves the problem of prioritizing cells that support the latest 5G NR technology over cells supporting older technologies.

Benefits

  • The technology improves the overall performance and user experience of mobile devices in 5G networks.
  • It ensures that mobile devices connect to the most advanced and capable cells, leading to faster data speeds and lower latency.
  • The invention optimizes network resources by efficiently utilizing cells that support 5G NR.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the disclosure relate to mechanisms for enhancement in UE cell selection to prioritize cells supporting 5G New Radio (NR) in standalone mode (SA) and in non-standalone (NSA) mode. In some examples, a UE may identify a plurality of cells within an area including a location of the UE. Each cell supports at least one radio access technology (RAT) and at least one frequency. The UE may determine a selection order of the plurality of cells based on the supported RATs and frequency bands to prioritize cells supporting the latest RAT (e.g., 5G NR) and select a serving cell based on the selection order.
