ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SELECTING CELL, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244019 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SELECTING CELL, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can switch between different radio access technologies (RATs) based on certain events and conditions. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The electronic device has a processor that can establish a connection with a first cell of a first RAT.
- It can confirm the occurrence of an event that leads to the release of the connection with the first cell.
- In response to this confirmation, the device can switch to a second cell of a different RAT.
- If the device fails to register to a core network corresponding to the second RAT, it initiates a timer defined in the network access stratum (NAS).
- Based on the initiation of the timer, the device can perform a scan associated with either the first RAT or a RAT according to a preset priority.
- The choice of scan is determined by whether the service being used while connected to the first cell is an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) call service.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices that need to switch between different RATs depending on network conditions and events.
- Devices that require seamless handover between different types of networks, such as cellular and Wi-Fi.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient utilization of available network resources by automatically switching to a different RAT when necessary.
- Seamless connectivity for users by ensuring uninterrupted service during RAT transitions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved network coverage and reliability by utilizing multiple RATs.
- Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted service during network transitions.
- Optimal utilization of network resources leading to improved network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: after establishing an RRC connection with a first cell of a first RAT, confirm the occurrence of an event associated with the release of the RRC connection with the first cell; camp on to a second cell of a second RAT different from the first RAT in response to the confirmation of the occurrence of the event; initiate a timer, defined in an NAS, on the basis of a failure to register to a core network corresponding to the second RAT; and perform one of a scan associated with the first RAT or a scan associated with a RAT according to a preset priority, on the basis of the initiation of the timer, according to whether a service performed while connected to the first cell is an IMS call service.
