CELL ACTIVATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17960420 titled 'CELL ACTIVATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a communication apparatus that determines a serving cell capable of synchronizing information with a to-be-activated secondary cell (SCell). The serving cell can be either an activated cell or a known cell. The apparatus identifies a specific synchronization signal block (SSB) in the SSBs transmitted by the SCell, which corresponds to a particular SSB sent by the serving cell. Based on the timing and beam information of this SSB, the apparatus activates the SCell.

  • The communication apparatus determines a serving cell that can synchronize information with a to-be-activated SCell.
  • The serving cell can be an activated cell or a known cell.
  • The apparatus identifies a specific SSB in the SSBs sent by the SCell.
  • This specific SSB corresponds to a particular SSB sent by the serving cell.
  • The apparatus activates the SCell based on the first SSB sent by the SCell and the timing and beam information of the second SSB.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cellular communication systems, particularly in the activation of secondary cells.
  • It can be used in 5G and future generations of wireless networks to enhance network capacity and performance.

Problems Solved

  • The communication apparatus solves the problem of determining a serving cell capable of synchronizing information with a to-be-activated SCell.
  • It addresses the challenge of identifying the specific SSB in the SSBs sent by the SCell that corresponds to a particular SSB sent by the serving cell.
  • The apparatus solves the issue of activating the SCell based on the identified SSB and its associated timing and beam information.

Benefits

  • The technology enables efficient synchronization and activation of secondary cells, improving overall network performance.
  • It simplifies the process of determining the serving cell and identifying the corresponding SSB.
  • The apparatus optimizes the utilization of available network resources, enhancing the user experience and network capacity.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus determines a serving cell that can perform information synchronization with a to-be-activated SCell, where the serving cell is an activated cell or a known cell. The communication apparatus determines a first SSB in SSBs sent by the to-be-activated SCell, where the first SSB corresponds to a second SSB sent by the serving cell. The communication apparatus activates the to-be-activated SCell based on the first SSB sent by the to-be-activated SCell and timing information and beam information of the second SSB.
