TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE SET PRECONFIGURATION IN CANDIDATE CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937129 titled 'TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE SET PRECONFIGURATION IN CANDIDATE CELLS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure provides techniques for a user equipment (UE) to switch between candidate cells efficiently.
- User equipment (UE) receives a control message from an active cell activating a set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with inactive candidate cells.
- UE receives a second control message from the active cell instructing it to switch to a specific candidate cell.
- UE switches to the specified candidate cell using a transmission configuration indicator state from the activated set.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in cellular networks to improve handover procedures and enhance network efficiency.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient handover between cells. 2. Minimization of communication disruptions during cell switching.
Benefits
1. Improved network performance. 2. Enhanced user experience with seamless cell switching.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Cellular Network Efficiency with Efficient Handover Techniques"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to handover procedures in cellular networks, but specific examples are not provided here.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life of the user equipment (UE)?
The abstract does not mention any details about the impact of this technology on the battery life of the UE. It would be interesting to know if the efficient handover procedures have any effect on power consumption.
Are there any limitations to the number of candidate cells that can be included in the set for efficient handover?
The abstract does not specify any limitations on the number of candidate cells that can be managed for efficient handover. It would be important to understand if there are any constraints in this regard.
Original Abstract Submitted
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a user equipment (UE) to receive, via a first active cell serving the UE, a first control message activating a set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with a set of candidate cells that are inactive at the UE. The UE may receive, via the first active cell after receiving the first control message, a second control message indicating for the UE to switch to a second cell of the set of candidate cells. In response to receiving the second control message indicating for the UE to switch to the second cell, the UE may switch to communicating with the second cell using a first transmission configuration indicator state of the activated set of transmission configuration indicator states.
