MANAGING INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL MOBILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033547 titled 'MANAGING INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL MOBILITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that supports the migration of an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node from one donor to another in a radio access network (RAN). When a user equipment (UE) is communicating with the RAN through the IAB-node, the source donor initiates the migration process by sending a handover request message to the target donor. The target donor responds with a handover request acknowledge message that includes the necessary configuration for the migration. The source donor then provides this configuration to the IAB-node and starts transmitting downlink data for the UE to the target donor, which forwards it to the UE through the IAB-node.

  • The patent application describes a system for migrating an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node from one donor to another in a radio access network (RAN).
  • The migration process is initiated by the source donor, which sends a handover request message to the target donor.
  • The target donor responds with a handover request acknowledge message that includes the necessary configuration for the migration.
  • The source donor provides this configuration to the IAB-node, allowing it to migrate to the target donor.
  • Once the migration is complete, the source donor starts transmitting downlink data for the user equipment (UE) to the target donor, which forwards it to the UE through the IAB-node.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication networks that utilize integrated access backhaul (IAB) nodes.
  • It can be particularly useful in scenarios where the migration of IAB-nodes between donors is necessary, such as in network expansions or optimizations.

Problems Solved

  • The system solves the problem of efficiently migrating an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node from one donor to another in a radio access network (RAN).
  • It provides a streamlined process for initiating and completing the migration, ensuring uninterrupted communication for user equipment (UE) connected through the IAB-node.

Benefits

  • The technology allows for seamless migration of IAB-nodes, minimizing disruptions in communication for user equipment (UE).
  • It simplifies the migration process by providing a standardized handover request and acknowledge message exchange between the source and target donors.
  • The system ensures that the necessary configuration for the migration is properly communicated and implemented in the IAB-node, guaranteeing its successful integration into the target donor's network.


Original Abstract Submitted

A source donor supports inter-donor migration of an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node from the source donor to a target donor, where the source donor and the target donor corresponding to respective nodes of a radio access network (RAN), and when a user equipment (UE) is in communication with the RAN via the IAB-node. The source donor transmits, to the target donor, a handover request message related to the IAB-node; receives, from the target donor, a handover request acknowledge message including an IAB-node configuration related to the inter-donor migration of the IAB-node; provides the IAB-node configuration to the IAB-node; and transmits downlink data for the UE to the target donor, for forwarding to the UE via the IAB-node.
