RELAXED MEASUREMENTS FOR UES BETWEEN TWO NETWORK NODES ALTERNATING COVERAGE RANGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931884 titled 'RELAXED MEASUREMENTS FOR UES BETWEEN TWO NETWORK NODES ALTERNATING COVERAGE RANGE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a method for a User Equipment (UE) to identify a mobility condition associated with cell coverage switching and perform a measurement procedure based on this condition.
- Identification of UE mobility condition associated with cell coverage switching based on consecutive cell reselections.
- Further identification based on cell coverage region or UE measurement.
- Measurement procedure may include a relaxed measurement procedure.
- Performance of measurement procedure based on criteria associated with cell coverage switching.
- UE receives indication of criteria from a network node.
Potential Applications
- Mobile network optimization
- Seamless handover between cells
- Quality of Service (QoS) improvement in cellular networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient cell coverage switching
- Enhanced user experience during mobility
- Reduction of dropped calls during handover
Benefits
- Improved network performance
- Enhanced user satisfaction
- Minimized service disruptions during cell coverage switching
Original Abstract Submitted
A UE may identify a UE mobility condition associated with cell coverage switching. The UE may perform a measurement procedure based on the UE mobility condition associated with the cell coverage switching. The UE mobility condition associated with the cell coverage switching may be identified based on a count of consecutive cell reselections. The UE mobility condition associated with the cell coverage switching may be identified further based on a cell coverage region associated with the cell coverage switching or further based on a UE measurement. The measurement procedure may or may not include a relaxed measurement procedure. The measurement procedure may be performed based further on at least one criterion associated with the cell coverage switching. The UE may receive an indication of the at least one criterion associated with the cell coverage switching from a network node.
