Communication Method, Apparatus, and System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937196 titled 'Communication Method, Apparatus, and System

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a communication method, apparatus, and system for managing network connectivity between base stations. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves a network management entity determining a dual connectivity attribute of a first neighbor cell of a first cell.
  • The dual connectivity attribute indicates whether the first neighbor cell can be used as a secondary cell of the first cell.
  • The first cell belongs to a first base station, while the first neighbor cell belongs to a second base station.
  • The network management entity then sends configuration information to the first base station, instructing it to configure the dual connectivity attribute of the first neighbor cell.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve network performance and coverage.
  • It can be used in scenarios where multiple base stations need to work together to provide seamless connectivity.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology solves the problem of efficiently managing the connectivity between neighboring cells belonging to different base stations.
  • It allows for better utilization of network resources and improved overall network performance.

Benefits:

  • By configuring the dual connectivity attribute, the technology enables the use of a neighbor cell as a secondary cell for the first cell.
  • This improves network coverage, capacity, and reliability.
  • It allows for better load balancing and handover management between base stations.
  • The technology enhances the overall user experience by providing seamless connectivity and reducing network congestion.


Original Abstract Submitted
