SCG ACTIVATION DURING MOBILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032290 titled 'SCG ACTIVATION DURING MOBILITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a communication device operating in a wireless communication network. The method involves receiving a message from a network node that instructs the device to perform a mobility procedure related to a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG). The device determines the power-saving state of the SCG, executes the mobility procedure based on the instruction and SCG state, and applies the determined SCG state after the procedure.

  • The communication device operates in dual connectivity with both MCG and SCG in a wireless communication network.
  • The device receives a message from a network node containing an instruction for a mobility procedure related to MCG or SCG.
  • It determines the power-saving state of the SCG.
  • The device executes the mobility procedure based on the received instruction and the determined SCG state.
  • After executing the mobility procedure, the device applies the determined SCG state.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication networks, such as cellular networks, to improve the efficiency of mobility procedures.
  • It can be used in devices that require seamless handovers between different cell groups to maintain uninterrupted communication.

Problems Solved

  • The method addresses the issue of power consumption in the SCG during mobility procedures.
  • It solves the problem of maintaining the power-saving state of the SCG after executing a mobility procedure.

Benefits

  • By considering the power-saving state of the SCG, the method helps optimize power consumption in the communication device.
  • It ensures that the determined SCG state is applied after executing the mobility procedure, improving the overall efficiency of the device.
  • The method enables seamless handovers between different cell groups, enhancing the user experience in wireless communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, performed by a communication device operating in dual connectivity with a master cell group, MCG, and a secondary cell group, SCG, of a wireless communication network includes receiving a message from a network node of the wireless communication network, the message including an instruction to perform a mobility procedure concerning at least one of the MCG or the SCG, determining an SCG state for power saving for the communication device, executing the mobility procedure according to the instruction and the SCG state, and applying the determined SCG state following execution of the mobility procedure.
