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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18107937 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a terminal apparatus that communicates with a base station using both a direct path and an indirect path, determining the configuration of a signaling radio bearer in the case of a radio link failure on the direct path. If the signaling radio bearer is not configured with a split bearer, the terminal apparatus transmits information about the radio link failure via a sidelink signaling radio bearer to a relay terminal apparatus.

  • Terminal apparatus communicates with base station using direct and indirect paths
  • Determines configuration of signaling radio bearer in case of radio link failure on direct path
  • Transmits information about radio link failure via sidelink signaling radio bearer to relay terminal apparatus

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems where maintaining connectivity is crucial, such as in mobile networks, IoT devices, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently handling radio link failures in wireless communication systems 2. Ensuring continuous communication between terminal apparatus and base station

Benefits

1. Improved reliability in communication systems 2. Enhanced network performance during radio link failures 3. Seamless handover between direct and indirect paths

Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology

1. Mobile network operators for improving network reliability 2. IoT device manufacturers for ensuring constant connectivity 3. Automotive companies for implementing reliable vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of handover mechanisms in cellular networks to maintain connectivity during link failures. Another could be the use of relay stations in wireless communication systems to enhance coverage and reliability.

What are the technical specifications of the terminal apparatus described in the patent application?

The technical specifications of the terminal apparatus, such as the frequency bands supported, the modulation schemes used, and the power output levels, are not detailed in the abstract. Further information from the full patent application or related documents would be needed to answer this question accurately.

How does the terminal apparatus determine the configuration of the signaling radio bearer in the case of a radio link failure on the direct path?

The abstract mentions that the terminal apparatus determines the configuration of the signaling radio bearer based on whether a split bearer is configured. However, the specific method or criteria used for this determination is not provided in the abstract. More details from the full patent application would be required to answer this question comprehensively.


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 indirect path in a case that radio link failure is detected on the direct path and the signaling radio bearer is not configured with a split bearer, and a transmitter transmits information indicating that the radio link failure has occurred on the direct path via a sidelink signaling radio bearer configured between the terminal apparatus and the relay terminal apparatus in a case that the signaling radio bearer is determined to not be configured on the indirect path.
