RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL TYPE SELECTION AND FALLBACK MECHANISM RELATED TO SLICING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18264550 titled 'RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL TYPE SELECTION AND FALLBACK MECHANISM RELATED TO SLICING
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The abstract explains that a user equipment (UE) can receive an indication of a configuration for a set of random access channel (RACH) procedure types for a specific bandwidth part of the UE. Each RACH procedure type in the set is different from at least some, if not all, the other RACH procedure types in the set. The UE can then select a RACH procedure type from the set based on the indication of the configuration and a trigger to perform a RACH procedure for a network slice. Finally, the UE performs the RACH procedure for the network slice according to the selected RACH procedure type.
- User equipment (UE) receives a configuration indication for a set of random access channel (RACH) procedure types.
- Each RACH procedure type in the set is different from at least some, if not all, the other RACH procedure types.
- UE selects a RACH procedure type from the set based on the configuration indication and a trigger to perform a RACH procedure for a network slice.
- UE performs the RACH procedure for the network slice according to the selected RACH procedure type.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the efficiency and reliability of random access procedures.
- It can be used in various IoT (Internet of Things) applications where multiple devices need to access the network simultaneously.
Problems Solved:
- Random access procedures in wireless communication systems can be complex and prone to collisions or inefficiencies.
- The configuration of RACH procedure types can be challenging, especially when different network slices or bandwidth parts are involved.
- This technology addresses these problems by providing a method for selecting and performing RACH procedures based on specific configurations and triggers.
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency and reliability of random access procedures in wireless communication systems.
- Enhanced performance and reduced collisions in accessing the network, leading to better overall network performance.
- Simplified configuration and management of RACH procedure types for different network slices or bandwidth parts.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a configuration for a set of random access channel (RACH) procedure types for a bandwidth part of the UE, each RACH procedure type in the set of RACH procedure types being different from at least some if not all the other RACH procedure types in the set of RACH procedure types. The UE may select a RACH procedure type from the set of RACH procedure types for the RACH procedure based at least in part on the indication of the configuration for the set of RACH procedure types and on a trigger to perform a RACH procedure for a network slice. The UE may perform the RACH procedure for the network slice according to the RACH procedure type.
