METHOD AND PLMN FOR CONTROLLING DISASTER AREA FOR DISASTER ROAMING SERVICE IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18251274 titled 'METHOD AND PLMN FOR CONTROLLING DISASTER AREA FOR DISASTER ROAMING SERVICE IN WIRELESS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling disaster roaming service in a disaster area using a user equipment (UE). The method involves the following steps:
- Detecting a disaster condition in a first public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with a first service provider.
- Sending a registration request to a second PLMN for the disaster roaming service. The second PLMN is associated with a second service provider and is available in the disaster area covered by the first PLMN.
- Receiving a tracking area identity (TAI) list from the second PLMN. The TAI list contains a set of tracking areas associated with the disaster area covered by the second PLMN.
- Camping on the second PLMN for the disaster roaming service in the tracking areas indicated in the TAI list during the disaster condition with the first PLMN.
Potential applications of this technology include:
- Providing uninterrupted communication services in disaster areas where the primary network infrastructure may be damaged or unavailable.
- Enabling seamless roaming for users in disaster-stricken areas by connecting to alternative service providers.
- Facilitating coordination and communication among emergency responders and relief organizations during disasters.
Problems solved by this technology include:
- Ensuring reliable and continuous communication services in disaster areas where the primary network may be disrupted.
- Overcoming limitations of traditional roaming services that may not be available or accessible in disaster-stricken areas.
- Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency response efforts by enabling seamless communication among different service providers.
Benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced resilience and reliability of communication services in disaster areas, improving the safety and well-being of affected individuals.
- Increased flexibility and availability of roaming services in disaster-stricken areas, enabling users to stay connected and access necessary resources.
- Improved coordination and collaboration among different service providers, emergency responders, and relief organizations, leading to more efficient and effective disaster response and recovery efforts.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments herein provide a method for controlling disaster area for disaster roaming service by a UE (). The method includes detecting a disaster condition associated with a first PLMN () that is associated with a first service provider. Further, the method includes sending a registration request to a second PLMN () for the disaster roaming service. The second PLMN () is associated with a second service provider and is available in a disaster area covered by the first PLMN (). Further, the method includes receiving a TAI list from the second PLMN (). The TAI list includes a set of tracking areas associated with the disaster area covered by the second PLMN (). Further, the method includes camping on the second PLMN () for the disaster roaming service in the set of tracking areas indicated in the TAI list during the disaster condition with the first PLMN ().
