F1 CONNECTION OPTIONS IN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL HANDOVER SCENARIOS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18331116 titled 'F1 CONNECTION OPTIONS IN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL HANDOVER SCENARIOS
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation focuses on an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node that establishes a connection between two central units of different network nodes. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- An IAB node has a connection with a first central unit of a network node.
- The IAB node receives an indication to establish a connection with a second central unit of another network node.
- This connection is established via the existing connection between the IAB node and the first network node.
- The IAB node can then communicate with the second network node using this connection.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication networks
- Mobile network infrastructure
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart city networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient handover between network nodes
- Seamless communication between different network nodes
- Simplified integration of IAB nodes into existing network infrastructure
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved connectivity and coverage in wireless networks
- Enhanced reliability and performance of network connections
- Cost-effective deployment and management of IAB nodes
- Streamlined integration of new network nodes into existing infrastructure
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may have a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a first central unit of a first network node. The IAB node may receive an indication that the IAB node is to establish an IAB node-to-central unit connection (e.g., a F1 detour connection) with a second central unit of a second network node via the RRC connection between the IAB node and the first network node. The indication may be associated with a handover between the first network node to the second network node, where the first network node may the source node and the second network node may be the target node, or vice versa. The IAB node may communicate, with the second network node, via the IAB node-to-central unit connection using the RRC connection between the IAB node and the first network node.
