CELL SELECTION BASED ON USER CAPABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18451917 titled 'CELL SELECTION BASED ON USER CAPABILITY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a cellular communication system that includes a base station operating a cell with a supplementary uplink portion. The base station broadcasts an offset for user equipment (UE) in its coverage area to assist the UE in performing cell selection. The UE determines the offset and its capability to communicate using the supplementary uplink portion based on measurements for the cell. If the UE is capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion, it performs cell selection based on the offset. If not, the UE disregards the offset in its cell selection.
- The patent application describes a cellular communication system with a supplementary uplink portion.
- The base station broadcasts an offset for UE to assist in cell selection.
- The UE determines the offset and its capability to communicate using the supplementary uplink portion.
- If capable, the UE performs cell selection based on the offset.
- If not capable, the UE disregards the offset in cell selection.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved cell selection in cellular communication systems.
- Enhanced communication capabilities for user equipment.
- Efficient utilization of supplementary uplink portions.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient cell selection process for user equipment.
- Limited communication capabilities of user equipment.
- Suboptimal utilization of supplementary uplink portions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and efficiency of cellular communication systems.
- Enhanced communication capabilities for user equipment.
- Optimal utilization of supplementary uplink portions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A cellular communication system is disclosed in which a base station operates a cell which has a supplementary uplink portion (e.g. on a different frequency and/or using a different technology). The base station broadcasts an offset for user equipment (UE) in its coverage area to assist the UE performing cell selection. Specifically, the UE determines, based on measurements for the cell, the offset, and capability of the UE to communicate using the supplementary uplink portion, whether the cell of the base station is an appropriate candidate for cell selection such that: if the UE is capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion then the UE performs cell (re)selection based on the offset; and if the UE is not capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion then the UE disregards the offset in its cell (re)selection.
