TERMINAL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18106919 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a terminal apparatus that communicates with a base station using both a direct path and an indirect path. It determines if a signaling radio bearer is configured on the direct path when a radio link failure is detected on the indirect path without a split bearer. If the signaling radio bearer is on the direct path, it transmits information indicating the radio link failure on the indirect path.

  • Terminal apparatus for communication with a base station using direct and indirect paths
  • Determines if signaling radio bearer is configured on direct path when radio link failure detected on indirect path without split bearer
  • Transmits information about radio link failure on indirect path if signaling radio bearer is on direct path

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in telecommunications, specifically in improving the reliability and efficiency of communication between terminal apparatus and base station.

Problems Solved

1. Detection and handling of radio link failures in communication systems. 2. Ensuring continuous and reliable communication between terminal apparatus and base station.

Benefits

1. Improved reliability of communication networks. 2. Enhanced efficiency in handling radio link failures. 3. Better quality of service for users.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing the performance of 5G networks through improved fault detection and management.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include patents or research papers related to radio link failure detection and management in wireless communication systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in terminal apparatus?

The abstract does not mention the impact of this technology on the battery life of the terminal apparatus. It would be important to understand if the additional signaling required for detecting and handling radio link failures affects the power consumption of the device.

What are the potential security implications of transmitting information about radio link failures?

The abstract does not address the security aspects of transmitting information about radio link failures. It would be crucial to consider how this information is protected to prevent unauthorized access or exploitation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus by using a direct path and an indirect path determines whether a signaling radio bearer is configured on the direct path in a case that radio link failure is detected on the indirect path and a signaling radio bearer is not configured with a split bearer, and transmits, via the signaling radio bearer, information indicating that the radio link failure has occurred on the indirect path in a case that the signaling radio bearer is determined to be configured on the direct path.
