METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING EFFICIENT CELL SEARCH IN CELLULAR NETWORKS USING IRAT FREQUENCIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18240179 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING EFFICIENT CELL SEARCH IN CELLULAR NETWORKS USING IRAT FREQUENCIES
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract is for performing a cell search operation for a User Equipment (UE) to camp on a Radio Access Technology (RAT) based on certain events.
- Determining if the UE is camped on a first RAT and supports camping on a second RAT.
- Acquiring information related to a first Public Land Mobile Network Identity (PLMN ID) and at least one first inter-RAT (IRAT) frequency associated with the first RAT.
- Storing the first PLMN ID information in a UE database.
- Detecting events indicating the UE needs to switch RATs.
- Performing a cell search operation based on the stored information to camp the UE on the second RAT.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile network optimization
- Seamless handover between different RATs
- Efficient network resource allocation
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring smooth transition for UEs between different RATs
- Optimizing network performance by camping UEs on the most suitable RAT
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience with better network connectivity
- Enhanced network efficiency and resource utilization
- Reduced network congestion and dropped calls.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a method for performing a cell search operation that includes: determining whether a User Equipment (UE) is camped on a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) among a plurality of RATs and supports camping on a second RAT; acquiring first information corresponding to a first Public Land Mobile Network Identity (PLMN ID) associated with the first RAT and at least one first inter-RAT (IRAT) frequency, the at least one first IRAT frequency being associated with the first RAT; storing the first information corresponding to the first PLMN ID in a database of the UE; detecting an occurrence of one or more first events indicating that the UE is required to leave the first RAT and camp on another RAT to handle the event; performing the cell search operation corresponding to the first PLMN ID based on the stored first information to camp the UE on the second RAT.
