Methods for Handling Periodic Radio Access Network Notification Area (RNA) Update Configuration Upon Reject - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18095186 titled 'Methods for Handling Periodic Radio Access Network Notification Area (RNA) Update Configuration Upon Reject

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to a user equipment (UE) in a Radio Access Network (RAN) that is in a suspended state. When a specific timer expires, the UE sends an RRCResumeRequest message to the network. However, the UE receives a reject message in response. In reaction to the reject message, the UE starts a second timer and subsequently sends another RRCResumeRequest message. The network receives this further message within a specific time period.

  • The patent application is related to managing the state of a user equipment (UE) in a Radio Access Network (RAN).
  • When a first timer expires, the UE sends an RRCResumeRequest message to the network.
  • The UE receives a reject message in response to the RRCResumeRequest message.
  • In response to the reject message, the UE starts a second timer.
  • The UE then sends another RRCResumeRequest message after the second timer starts.
  • The network receives the further RRCResumeRequest message within a specific time period.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cellular networks and telecommunications systems.
  • It can be used to manage the state of user equipment in a Radio Access Network.

Problems Solved

  • The technology addresses the issue of managing the state of a user equipment in a suspended state.
  • It provides a mechanism for the user equipment to request resumption of services after a specific timer expires.

Benefits

  • The technology allows user equipment to efficiently resume services in a Radio Access Network.
  • It ensures that the network receives the resumption request within a specific time period, improving the overall responsiveness of the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an aspect, a user equipment, UE, in a suspended state in a Radio Access Network, RAN, in response to expiration of a first timer, transmits an RRCResumeRequest message. The UE receives a reject message in response to the RRCResumeRequest message. In response to the reject message, the UE starts a second timer and subsequently transmits a further RRCResumeRequest message. The further RRCResumeRequest message is received by the network during a period bounded approximately by the lesser of a duration of the second timer and a period of the periodic UE event and the greater of the duration of the second timer and the period of the periodic UE event.
