IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249699 titled 'IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a communication system that supports higher data rates beyond the 4th generation (4G) system, such as LTE. The patent application describes a method for controlling the activation or deactivation of a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) in a telecommunication network employing Dual Connectivity (DC). The method involves detecting triggers such as downlink data inactivity, uplink data inactivity, UE assistance information reported to a Master Node (MN) or Secondary Node (SN), and mobility to the MN or SN not supporting the SCG deactivation feature.

  • The patent application describes a method for controlling the activation or deactivation of a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) in a communication system.
  • The method involves detecting triggers such as downlink data inactivity, uplink data inactivity, UE assistance information reported to a Master Node (MN) or Secondary Node (SN), and mobility to the MN or SN not supporting the SCG deactivation feature.
  • The purpose of this method is to efficiently manage the activation or deactivation of SCGs in a telecommunication network employing Dual Connectivity (DC).
  • By detecting triggers such as data inactivity or mobility, the method ensures that SCGs are activated or deactivated as needed, optimizing the performance of the communication system.
  • This method is applicable to pre-5th generation (5G) or 5G communication systems that support higher data rates beyond the 4th generation (4G) system, such as LTE.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in 5G communication systems to support higher data rates and improve network performance.
  • It can be used in telecommunication networks employing Dual Connectivity (DC) to efficiently manage the activation or deactivation of Secondary Cell Groups (SCGs).
  • The method described in the patent application can be implemented in communication infrastructure to enhance the overall user experience and ensure seamless connectivity.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of inefficient activation or deactivation of SCGs in a telecommunication network employing Dual Connectivity (DC).
  • It addresses the issue of data inactivity and mobility in the network, ensuring that SCGs are activated or deactivated as needed to optimize network performance.
  • By efficiently managing SCG activation or deactivation, this technology improves the overall efficiency and reliability of the communication system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method described in the patent application improves the performance of communication systems by optimizing the activation or deactivation of SCGs.
  • It enhances network efficiency by detecting triggers such as data inactivity or mobility and adjusting SCG activation or deactivation accordingly.
  • This technology ensures seamless connectivity and a better user experience in 5G communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). Disclosed is a method of controlling the activation or deactivation of a Secondary Cell Group, SCG, in a telecommunication network employing Dual Connectivity, DC, comprising detecting at least one of the following triggers: downlink data inactivity detected by a terminating node; uplink data inactivity detected by the terminating node or detected and reported by a User Equipment, UE; UE assistance information reported to a Master Node, MN or Secondary Node, SN; and mobility to the MN or the SN not supporting the SCG deactivation feature.
