PROCESSING STATE INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18057683 titled 'PROCESSING STATE INFORMATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for processing state information of user equipment in a communications system. The method involves maintaining current state information and transmitting it to a target radio access node when the user equipment changes its connection from one cell to another.

  • The method maintains current state information of user equipment in a communications system.
  • When the user equipment changes its connection from one cell to another, the method transmits the current value associated with a specific part of the state information to the target radio access node.
  • The transmission is triggered when predetermined triggers indicate that the target radio access node may not have received the current value from the source radio access node.
  • If the triggers are not detected, the method relies on the target radio access node having received the current value from the source radio access node.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various communication systems that utilize radio access networks.
  • It can be used in cellular networks to ensure seamless handover of user equipment between different cells.
  • The method can be implemented in 5G networks to improve the efficiency and reliability of state information processing.

Problems Solved

  • Ensures that the target radio access node has up-to-date state information of user equipment when a connection change occurs.
  • Addresses the potential issue of the target radio access node not receiving the current value from the source radio access node during a handover.

Benefits

  • Improves the overall performance and reliability of communication systems by maintaining accurate state information.
  • Reduces the likelihood of communication disruptions or errors during handovers.
  • Enhances the efficiency of state information processing in radio access networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of processing state information relating to user equipment in a communications system comprising a radio access network, the method comprising: maintaining current state information relating to the user equipment; and on the basis of a change of connection of the user equipment from a first cell to a second cell: transmitting a current value associated with a given state information part to the target radio access node in response to detecting at least one of one or more predetermined triggers that indicate that the target radio access node may not have received the current value from the source radio access node; or relying on the target radio access node having received the current value from the source radio access node if said at least one of said one or more predetermined triggers is not detected.
