TIME ADVANCE MANAGEMENT FOR L1/L2-BASED MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447619 titled 'TIME ADVANCE MANAGEMENT FOR L1/L2-BASED MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure for a non-serving cell, acquire a time advance (TA) of the non-serving cell, and then perform an L1/L2-based handover from the serving cell to the non-serving cell using the acquired TA.

  • User equipment (UE) connected with a serving cell performs a random access channel (RACH) procedure for a non-serving cell.
  • The UE acquires a time advance (TA) of the non-serving cell based on the RACH procedure.
  • The UE performs an L1/L2-based handover from the serving cell to the non-serving cell with the acquired TA.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve handover procedures between cells, enhancing network efficiency and user experience.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient handover between serving and non-serving cells. 2. Enhanced network performance and reliability.

Benefits

1. Improved network connectivity. 2. Seamless handover experience for users. 3. Enhanced overall network efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing handover procedures in cellular networks for improved performance and user satisfaction.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing methods for handover procedures in cellular networks, but specific details would need to be researched for comparison.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life of the user equipment (UE)?

The abstract does not mention any details about the potential impact on battery life of the UE due to the handover procedures. Further research and testing may be needed to determine this aspect.

What are the potential security implications of performing handovers between cells in this manner?

The abstract does not address any security considerations related to the handover process. It would be important to investigate any vulnerabilities or risks associated with this technology in terms of network security.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and an apparatus are provided in which a user equipment (UE) connected with a serving cell performs a random access channel (RACH) procedure for a non-serving cell. The UE acquires a time advance (TA) of the non-serving cell based on the RACH procedure. The UE performs an L1/L2-based handover from the serving cell to the non-serving cell with the acquired TA.
