METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING SERVICE AREA FOR UE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18363263 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING SERVICE AREA FOR UE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application is about a method and apparatus for allocating a service area for a flyable user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and enabling a seamless handover to a base station capable of aviation communication when the UE is moved. The method involves receiving flight-related information about the UE from an unmanned aerial system (UAS) service supplier (USS), determining candidate base stations based on the flight-related information, transmitting a request message to the candidate base stations for aviation communication-related information, receiving a response message from the candidate base stations including aviation communication-related information, and generating a handover list for the UE based on the flight-related information and the aviation communication-related information.

  • The patent application describes a method for allocating a service area and enabling seamless handover for flyable user equipment in a wireless communication system.
  • The method involves receiving flight-related information about the user equipment from a UAS service supplier.
  • Based on the flight-related information, candidate base stations are determined for the user equipment.
  • A request message is transmitted to the candidate base stations to obtain aviation communication-related information.
  • The response message received from the candidate base stations includes aviation communication-related information.
  • A handover list is generated for the user equipment based on the flight-related information and the aviation communication-related information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in 5G or 6G communication systems to support higher data transmission rates.
  • It can be used in wireless communication systems that involve unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for various applications such as surveillance, delivery, or inspection.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allocating a service area and enabling seamless handover for flyable user equipment in a wireless communication system can be challenging due to the mobility and unique requirements of unmanned aerial systems.
  • This technology solves the problem of providing a seamless service to flyable user equipment by enabling handover to a base station capable of aviation communication.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method and apparatus described in the patent application ensure that flyable user equipment receives a seamless service even when it is moved within the wireless communication system.
  • By allocating a service area and enabling handover to a base station capable of aviation communication, the technology supports the reliable and efficient communication of unmanned aerial systems.
  • This technology enhances the overall performance and reliability of wireless communication systems by addressing the specific needs of flyable user equipment.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for allocating a service area for a flyable user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and enabling a handover to a base station capable of aviation communication when the UE is moved to provide the UE with a seamless service. A method performed by an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system may include receiving, from an unmanned aerial system (UAS) service supplier (USS), flight-related information about a UE; determining at least one candidate base station to be used by the UE, based on the flight-related information about the UE; transmitting, to the at least one candidate base station, a request message for requesting aviation communication-related information about the at least one candidate base station; receiving, from the at least one candidate base station, a response message including aviation communication-related information about the at least one candidate base station; and generating a handover list to be used by the UE, based on the flight-related information about the UE and the aviation communication-related information about the at least one candidate base station.
