Wireless Device, Network Node, and Methods in a Wireless Communications Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18279523 titled 'Wireless Device, Network Node, and Methods in a Wireless Communications Network

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a wireless device for handling configured resources for data transmission to a network node in a wireless communications network. The device receives a configuration from the network node at a first point in time, enters an inactive mobility state, decides whether a Timing Advance (TA) for the configured resources is valid at a second point in time, and sends an indication to the network node regarding the validity of the TA.

  • The wireless device receives a configuration for data transmission resources from a network node.
  • The device enters an inactive mobility state.
  • It determines the validity of the Timing Advance (TA) for the configured resources at a later point in time.
  • The device communicates the validity of the TA to the network node.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a wireless device for handling configured resources for a data transmission to a network node in a wireless communications network is provided. When being in connected mobility state, the wireless device receives (201) a configuration from the network node at a first point in time, T1. The configuration is for resources for the data transmission. The wireless device enters (202) into inactive mobility state. When being in inactive mobility state, the wireless device deciding (203) whether or not a Timing Advance, TA, for the resources configured at T1 for the data transmission is valid at a second point in time, T2. The wireless device sends (204) an indication to the network node, indicating whether or not the TA for the resources configured for the data transmission at T1 is valid at a second point in time, T2, as decided.
