HANDOVER BETWEEN TERRESTRIAL NETWORK AND NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18370242 titled 'HANDOVER BETWEEN TERRESTRIAL NETWORK AND NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a user equipment in a wireless communication system to handover from a base station to a satellite based on specific conditions and reference signal measurements.

  • Receiving configuration information from the base station for handover conditions.
  • Measuring the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of reference signals from the base station and satellite.
  • Transmitting a measurement report to the base station when trigger and pre-conditions are met.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in satellite communication systems to improve handover processes between base stations and satellites.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient handover process between base stations and satellites. 2. Enhanced communication reliability in wireless networks.

Benefits

1. Improved signal strength measurements. 2. Seamless handover between different network nodes. 3. Enhanced overall network performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing satellite communication networks for better coverage and connectivity.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art related to handover processes in wireless communication systems and satellite networks may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method impact network latency during handover processes?

The abstract does not mention the impact of this method on network latency and whether it helps in reducing latency during handovers.

What are the specific trigger conditions for handover mentioned in the configuration information?

The abstract mentions trigger conditions for handover, but the specific details of these conditions are not elaborated upon.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of a user equipment in a wireless communication system, includes: receiving, from a base station, configuration information including at least one of a pre-condition, a trigger condition, and a cancel condition for a handover from the base station to a satellite; receiving a first reference signal from the base station and a second reference signal from the satellite, respectively; measuring Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of each of the first reference signal and the second reference signal; and transmitting a first measurement report to the base station, based on a determination that the trigger condition related to the first reference signal and the pre-condition related to the second reference signal are satisfied.
