CONTROL LINK FOR LOW-POWER AND SIMPLIFIED TRANSCEIVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466580 titled 'CONTROL LINK FOR LOW-POWER AND SIMPLIFIED TRANSCEIVER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that detect and recover a lost control link between a user equipment (UE) and a base station.

• The techniques involve detecting a lost control link by a UE based on an expired timer or counter, or by failing to receive signaling from the base station.
• The UE can maintain the control link by transmitting uplink transmissions to the base station.
• The base station can detect a lost control link if it fails to receive one or more uplink transmissions from the UE.
• If the control link is lost, the base station and the UE can communicate to re-establish the control link.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication systems and networks
• Mobile devices and smartphones
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Autonomous vehicles and drones

Problems Solved

• Loss of control link between a UE and a base station in wireless communications
• Ensuring reliable and continuous communication between devices and base stations
• Detecting and recovering from a lost control link in a timely manner

Benefits

• Improved reliability and stability of wireless communications
• Reduced downtime and interruptions in communication
• Enhanced performance and efficiency of wireless networks
• Seamless re-establishment of control link without manual intervention

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for detecting when a control link between a user equipment (UE) and a base station is lost and recovering the control link. In one example, a UE may detect that a control link with a base station is lost based on a timer or counter expiring or based on failing to receive signaling from the base station. In another example, a UE may be configured to transmit uplink transmissions to a base station to maintain a control link with the base station, and the base station may detect that a control link with the UE is lost if the base station fails to receive one or more uplink transmissions from the UE. If the control link is lost, the base station and the UE may communicate to re-establish the control link.
