COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17984365 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The communication apparatus described in this patent application is capable of detecting signals from a first base station in a different wireless communication system than its own. It then transmits two types of information to a management apparatus that oversees communication in the other wireless communication system. The first type of information is related to the first base station, while the second type of information indicates the radio channel to be used when the communication apparatus engages in communication involving user data with a second base station in its own wireless communication system.
- The communication apparatus can detect signals from a base station in a different wireless communication system.
- It transmits information about the detected base station to a management apparatus.
- It also transmits information about the radio channel to be used for communication with a base station in its own wireless communication system.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various scenarios, including:
- Roaming: The communication apparatus can detect signals from base stations in different wireless communication systems while roaming and provide necessary information to ensure seamless communication.
- Interoperability: The technology enables communication between different wireless communication systems, allowing for improved connectivity and collaboration between devices.
- Network Management: The management apparatus can utilize the information provided by the communication apparatus to optimize network resources and improve overall communication efficiency.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several challenges in wireless communication systems, such as:
- Interference: By indicating the radio channel to be used for communication, the technology helps avoid interference between different wireless communication systems.
- Seamless Roaming: The communication apparatus ensures smooth handover between different base stations by providing information about the detected base station.
- Efficient Resource Allocation: The management apparatus can make informed decisions about resource allocation based on the information received, leading to improved network performance.
Benefits
The use of this technology offers several benefits, including:
- Enhanced Connectivity: Users can experience improved connectivity and seamless communication across different wireless communication systems.
- Efficient Network Management: The management apparatus can optimize resource allocation and improve overall network performance based on the information provided by the communication apparatus.
- Improved User Experience: By avoiding interference and enabling seamless roaming, the technology enhances the user experience by ensuring uninterrupted communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication apparatus detects a signal transmitted from a first base station in another wireless communication system that is different from a wireless communication system to which the communication apparatus belongs, and transmits first information and second information to a management apparatus that manages communication in the other wireless communication system, the first information being related to the first base station, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used in a case where communication involving user data is performed with a second base station belonging to the wireless communication system when the communication apparatus has detected the signal
