PLMN SELECTION FOR MASSIVE IOT OVER SATELLITE ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18393264 titled 'PLMN SELECTION FOR MASSIVE IOT OVER SATELLITE ACCESS
Simplified Explanation
The communication system described in the patent application allows a User Equipment (UE) to access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite and select a preferred Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for different geographic locations. The UE transmits the preferred PLMN information to a base station via the radio cell and the communication satellite. The base station determines the current geographic location of the UE and selects the serving PLMN accordingly, without the UE being aware of this selection.
- The UE can access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite.
- The UE can select a preferred PLMN for different geographic locations.
- The UE transmits preferred PLMN information to the base station via the satellite.
- The base station determines the current geographic location of the UE.
- The base station selects the serving PLMN based on the current location.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in mobile communication systems to improve network efficiency and reduce UE signaling and resource usage.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of inefficient PLMN selection in mobile communication systems and reduces the signaling and resource usage of UEs.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved network efficiency, reduced UE signaling, and optimized PLMN selection for different geographic locations.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology could be in the telecommunications industry for mobile network operators looking to enhance their network performance and user experience.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of location-based services in mobile networks to optimize network selection for UEs based on their geographic location.
What are the specific criteria for selecting a preferred PLMN for different geographic locations in the communication system described in the patent application?
The specific criteria for selecting a preferred PLMN for different geographic locations in the communication system are based on the current geographic location of the UE. The base station determines the serving PLMN based on the current location of the UE.
How does the communication system ensure that the UE is not aware of the PLMN selection process by the base station?
The communication system ensures that the UE is not aware of the PLMN selection process by the base station through the base station making the determination internally without signaling the UE. This helps reduce UE signaling and resource usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication system including a UE, a base station, and a PLMN is disclosed. The UE may access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite. The UE may select a preferred PLMN for each of multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The UE may transmit, to the base station via the radio cell and the communication satellite, an indication of the preferred PLMN for each of the multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The base station may attempt to determine a current geographic location of the UE. The base station may determine a serving PLMN as the preferred PLMN for the current geographic location of the UE and may later determine a second PLMN if the current geographic location changes. The base station determination may not be visible to the UE which may reduce UE signaling and resource usage.
