Secondary Cell Group Configuration Method and Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18246639 titled 'Secondary Cell Group Configuration Method and Apparatus

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method and apparatus for configuring a secondary cell group (SCG) in a cellular network. The method involves receiving a reconfiguration message that includes a parameter for configuring the SCG. If a terminal device does not support the SCG configuration, indication information is sent to indicate that the SCG is abnormal. If the network device determines that the terminal device needs to release the SCG, it can indicate the terminal device to do so.

  • The patent application proposes a method to configure a secondary cell group (SCG) in a cellular network.
  • The method involves receiving a reconfiguration message that includes a parameter for configuring the SCG.
  • If a terminal device does not support the SCG configuration, indication information is sent to indicate that the SCG is abnormal.
  • The network device can determine if the terminal device needs to release the SCG and indicate it to do so.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in cellular networks that support secondary cell groups (SCGs) to configure and manage SCGs efficiently.
  • It can be used in 5G networks where SCGs are used to enhance network capacity and coverage.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This technology solves the problem of configuring SCGs in a cellular network when a terminal device does not support the SCG configuration.
  • It addresses the issue of indicating abnormal SCG conditions to the terminal device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method and apparatus described in this patent application enable efficient configuration and management of SCGs in cellular networks.
  • It improves the overall performance and reliability of the network by addressing abnormal SCG conditions.
  • The technology ensures that terminal devices are properly configured and released from SCGs, optimizing network resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a secondary cell group configuration method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving an LTE RRC reconfiguration message, where the LTE RRC reconfiguration message includes an NR configuration parameter, and the NR configuration parameter is used to configure an SCG; sending indication information when a terminal device does not support a configuration of the SCG, where the indication information is used to indicate that the SCG is abnormal. After receiving the indication information, if the network device determines that the terminal device needs to release the SCG, the network device may indicate the terminal device to release the SCG.
