TIMER PROCESSING METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076556 titled 'TIMER PROCESSING METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for processing timers in a terminal device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The terminal device receives a message from a network device.
  • Based on the scrambling identifier of the message, the terminal device starts or restarts a timer.
  • The timer is used to switch from an active downlink BWP (Bandwidth Part) to a default downlink BWP, or to activate a default downlink BWP and deactivate an active downlink BWP.
  • If the active BWP pair of the terminal device is not a default BWP pair, the terminal device starts or restarts a timer based on the scrambling identifier of the message.
  • The timer is used to switch from the active BWP pair to the default BWP pair, or to activate the default BWP pair.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, particularly in 5G networks.
  • It can be used in terminal devices to efficiently manage the switching between different bandwidth parts.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently switching between different bandwidth parts in a terminal device.
  • It addresses the need for timers to control the activation and deactivation of bandwidth parts.

Benefits

  • The method improves the overall performance and efficiency of terminal devices in wireless communication systems.
  • It allows for seamless switching between different bandwidth parts, ensuring uninterrupted communication.
  • The use of timers based on scrambling identifiers enhances the accuracy and reliability of the switching process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A timer processing method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a first message sent by a network device, and starting or restarting a timer based on a scrambling identifier of the first message, wherein the timer is a timer used by the terminal device to switch from an active downlink BWP to a default downlink BWP, or is a timer used by the terminal device to activate a default downlink BWP and deactivate an active downlink BWP; or if an active BWP pair of the terminal device is not a default BWP pair, starting or restarting, by the terminal device, a timer based on a scrambling identifier of the first message, wherein the timer is a timer used by the terminal device to switch from the active BWP pair to the default BWP pair, or is a timer used by the terminal device to activate the default BWP pair.
