UNICAST LINK MANAGEMENT VIA RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL SIGNALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492301 titled 'UNICAST LINK MANAGEMENT VIA RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL SIGNALING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for managing a device-to-device communication link via radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling. In this method, a first wireless communication device establishes a unicast link with a second wireless communication device and sends a link reconfiguration request to the second device with updated parameters. The first device then receives a link reconfiguration response from the second device and determines whether to reconfigure the unicast link based on the response.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Establishing a unicast link between two wireless communication devices. - Sending a link reconfiguration request with updated parameters. - Receiving a link reconfiguration response and determining whether to reconfigure the link.
Potential applications of this technology: - Improving communication reliability and efficiency in device-to-device communication scenarios. - Enhancing network performance by optimizing link configurations dynamically.
Problems solved by this technology: - Ensuring seamless communication between wireless devices. - Adapting to changing network conditions for better performance.
Benefits of this technology: - Increased reliability and stability in device-to-device communication. - Enhanced network efficiency and resource utilization.
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - IoT devices communication optimization. - Mobile device-to-device communication enhancement.
Possible prior art: - Prior art may include similar methods for managing communication links in wireless networks. - Research on radio resource control protocols and signaling in wireless communication systems.
Questions: 1. How does this method handle potential interference or signal degradation in the communication link? 2. Are there any limitations to the number of parameters that can be updated in the link reconfiguration request?
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to managing a device-to-device communication link via radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling. In an example operation, a first wireless communication device establishes a unicast link with a second wireless communication device over a device-to-device communication interface and determines that the unicast link is to be reconfigured with at least one updated parameter. The first wireless communication device then sends a link reconfiguration request to the second wireless communication device via a first RRC message over the communication interface. The first RRC message includes the at least one updated parameter. The first wireless communication device receives a link reconfiguration response from the second wireless communication device via a second RRC message over the communication interface based on the link reconfiguration request and determines whether to reconfigure the unicast link using the at least one updated parameter based on the received link reconfiguration response.
