METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SATELLITE ACCESS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366905 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SATELLITE ACCESS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system to support higher data transmission rates in a 5G or 6G network. The method involves identifying when a user equipment (UE) is out of satellite coverage due to a discontinuous coverage (DC) and transmitting a UE context release request message to a network entity managing the UE's mobility. The message includes a cause value for the release of the UE context.
- The method is performed by a base station in a wireless communication system.
- It supports higher data transmission rates in a 5G or 6G network.
- It identifies when a user equipment (UE) is out of satellite coverage due to a discontinuous coverage (DC).
- It transmits a UE context release request message to a network entity managing the UE's mobility.
- The message includes a cause value for the release of the UE context.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be applied in 5G or 6G communication systems to enhance data transmission rates.
- It can be used in areas where satellite coverage is discontinuous, ensuring uninterrupted communication for user equipment.
Problems Solved:
- The technology addresses the issue of user equipment being out of satellite coverage due to a discontinuous coverage (DC).
- It solves the problem of maintaining seamless communication for user equipment even when satellite coverage is not available.
Benefits:
- The method enables higher data transmission rates in a 5G or 6G network.
- It ensures uninterrupted communication for user equipment by identifying and addressing coverage gaps caused by discontinuous coverage.
- The technology improves the overall reliability and performance of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system includes identifying that a user equipment (UE) is out of a coverage of a satellite due to a discontinuous coverage (DC), and transmitting, to a network entity managing a mobility of the UE, a UE context release request message including a cause value for a UE context release.
