UNIFIED OPERATION FOR USER EQUIPMENT GROUPS

The abstract of this patent application describes a system where user equipment in close proximity can exchange data and control information. This includes active user equipment that connects to base stations and transfers data on a wireless communication network, as well as passive user equipment that does not connect to any base station but can communicate with other passive and active user equipment.

User equipment in close proximity can exchange data and control information.
Active user equipment connects to base stations and transfers data on a wireless communication network.
Passive user equipment does not connect to any base station but can communicate with other passive and active user equipment.

Potential Applications

Improved communication and data exchange between user equipment in close proximity.
Enhanced peer-to-peer communication between devices without relying solely on base stations.
Efficient data transfer and sharing within a group of user equipment.

Problems Solved

Overcoming limitations of traditional communication systems that rely solely on base stations for data transfer.
Enabling direct communication between user equipment without the need for a centralized network.
Facilitating efficient and reliable data exchange between devices in close proximity.

Benefits

Faster and more efficient data transfer between user equipment.
Enhanced connectivity and communication capabilities for user equipment in close proximity.
Increased flexibility and resilience in wireless communication networks.

Original Abstract Submitted

User equipment in close proximity may transfer data and control information. For example, the user equipment may exchange data or data sets between each other. Each user equipment can receive and transmit data using radio access technologies. A group of user equipments may include active user equipment and passive user equipment. Active user equipment connects with one or more base stations and transfers data on a wireless communication network via the base station. The active user equipment may communicate with other active user equipment and passive user equipment. Passive user equipment may not connect to any base station and/or the wireless communication network and may communicate with other passive user equipment and active user equipment (e.g., via a sidelink, peer-to-peer, or device-to-device channel).
