SECONDARY CARRIER PREDICTION BASED ON UP-LINK CHANNEL IMPULSE RESPONSE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18264952 titled 'SECONDARY CARRIER PREDICTION BASED ON UP-LINK CHANNEL IMPULSE RESPONSE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method in a radio access network for predicting secondary carrier links based on uplink channel impulse responses.

  • Obtaining an uplink channel impulse response based on a reference signal transmitted by a user equipment over a primary carrier link.
  • Extracting features from the uplink channel impulse response.
  • Predicting the existence or non-existence of a secondary carrier link based on the extracted features.
  • Determining whether to perform a handover procedure based on the prediction.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in cellular networks to improve handover procedures between primary and secondary cells.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently predicting the need for handover procedures, reducing unnecessary handovers and improving network performance.

Benefits

The method can lead to better resource allocation, reduced interference, and improved overall user experience in cellular networks.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be valuable for network operators looking to optimize their network performance and enhance user satisfaction.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for predicting handover decisions in cellular networks based on channel conditions and network load.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle dynamic network conditions?

The article does not specify how the method adapts to changing network conditions to make accurate predictions.

What impact does this method have on network latency?

The article does not address how the prediction process may affect network latency during handover procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method () performed in a radio access network () for secondary carrier prediction is provided. The method includes obtaining () an uplink channel impulse response based on a reference signal transmitted by a user equipment (UE) () over a primary carrier link to a serving network node () in a primary cell () currently serving the UE (). The method includes extracting () one or more features from the uplink channel impulse response. The method includes predicting () an existence or non-existence of a secondary carrier link between the UE () and a target network node in a secondary cell () based on the extracted one or more features. The method includes determining () whether to perform a handover procedure of the UE () from the serving network node in the primary cell () to the target network node in the secondary network cell () based on the predicting.
