Periodic Registration Update Procedure for Non-Allowed Service Areas - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18251757 titled 'Periodic Registration Update Procedure for Non-Allowed Service Areas
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that performs a periodic registration update procedure when a periodic update timer expires, even when the UE is out of coverage and selects a cell in a non-allowed area to camp on. The UE delays the registration update procedure until it enters a specific operating substate associated with camping on the selected cell.
- The UE initiates a periodic registration update procedure when a periodic update timer expires.
- The UE identifies that the periodic update timer has expired while it is out of coverage.
- The UE selects a cell in a non-allowed area to camp on.
- The UE delays the registration update procedure until it enters a specific operating substate associated with camping on the selected cell.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve the registration update process for user equipment.
- It can enhance the efficiency and reliability of periodic registration updates in areas with limited coverage.
Problems Solved
- The technology addresses the issue of performing periodic registration updates when the user equipment is out of coverage.
- It solves the problem of selecting a cell in a non-allowed area to camp on during the registration update process.
Benefits
- By delaying the registration update procedure until the user equipment enters a specific operating substate, the technology ensures that the update is performed in the desired location.
- It improves the overall performance and reliability of periodic registration updates.
- The technology allows for better control and management of user equipment in areas with limited coverage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) that initiates a periodic update timer, wherein the UE is configured to perform a periodic registration update procedure in response to a periodic update timer expiry event, identifies that the periodic update timer has expired, wherein the periodic update timer expiry event occurs when the UE is out of coverage, selects a cell to camp on, wherein the cell is known to be in a non-allowed area and initiates the periodic registration update procedure in response to the periodic update timer expiry event, wherein the UE delays the periodic registration update procedure until the UE enters a fifth generation mobility management (5GMM) operating substate associated with camping on the cell that is known to be in the non-allowed area.
