TIME-SENSITIVE NETWORK (TSN) DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION DURING HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18261550 titled 'TIME-SENSITIVE NETWORK (TSN) DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION DURING HANDOVER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes methods for handover of a user equipment (UE) from a source cell to a target cell in a wireless network.

  • The source node transmits messages in the source cell with reference times for transmission events.
  • The source node also transmits the reference time delivery configuration to the target node when requesting the handover.
  • The target node performs complementary methods for the handover.
  • Network nodes are configured to perform these methods.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to facilitate seamless handover of user equipment between cells.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of ensuring smooth and efficient handover of user equipment from one cell to another in a wireless network without interruptions or delays.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved network efficiency, reduced call drops during handover, and enhanced user experience with seamless connectivity.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include use in 5G networks, IoT devices, and other wireless communication systems to optimize handover processes and enhance network performance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art in this field could be related to existing handover techniques in wireless networks, such as handover algorithms and protocols used in cellular systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments include methods performed by a source node for handover of a user equipment (UE) from a source cell served by the source node in a wireless network. Such methods include transmitting, in the source cell according to a reference time delivery configuration, one or more messages that include respective reference times in relation to corresponding source cell transmission events. Such methods also include transmitting, to a target node in the wireless network, the reference time delivery configuration in relation to a request to handover the UE from the source cell to a target cell served by the target node. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by the target node, as well as network nodes configured to perform such methods.
