COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE DEVICES USING JOINT INITIAL ACCESS WITH TERRESTRIAL AND NON-TERRESTRIAL COMMUNICATION NODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18401906 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE DEVICES USING JOINT INITIAL ACCESS WITH TERRESTRIAL AND NON-TERRESTRIAL COMMUNICATION NODES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communication system that allows user equipment to perform initial access with both terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes in a service area. The system partitions the service area into terrestrial initial-access zones and non-terrestrial initial-access zones, with user equipment using positioning reference signals to determine its location and select a communication node based on the determined zone.
- User equipment can access both terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes in a service area.
- The service area is divided into terrestrial and non-terrestrial initial-access zones.
- User equipment determines its location using positioning reference signals.
- User equipment selects a communication node based on the determined zone.
- User equipment establishes communication with the selected communication node.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in telecommunications, satellite communications, and IoT devices.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of seamless initial access for user equipment in a mixed terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication environment.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved connectivity, efficient communication node selection, and enhanced user experience.
Potential Commercial Applications
Aerospace companies, telecommunications providers, and IoT device manufacturers could potentially benefit from this technology.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of positioning reference signals for location determination in communication systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle handover between terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes?
The patent application does not provide details on how the system manages handover between different types of communication nodes.
What is the impact of environmental factors on the accuracy of location determination using positioning reference signals?
The patent application does not address how environmental conditions may affect the accuracy of user equipment location determination.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication system, a method, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices allowing joint a user equipment to perform initial access with terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes of a service area. The service area is partitioned into terrestrial initial-access zones and non-terrestrial initial-access zones with each terrestrial initial-access zone associated with one or more of the terrestrial communication nodes and each non-terrestrial initial-access zone associated with at least one of the non-terrestrial communication nodes. The user equipment uses positioning reference signals from positioning anchors to determine its location, determine a zone from the terrestrial and non-terrestrial initial-access zones based on the location, select one of the terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes based on the determined zone, and establishing communication with the selected communication node.
