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.
