SCell Activation Enhancement with Assistance Reference Signal - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18502570 titled 'SCell Activation Enhancement with Assistance Reference Signal

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a user equipment that is able to activate a secondary cell (SCell) by receiving a reference signal (RS) triggering indication prior to the expected SCell activation period.

• User equipment receives a secondary cell (SCell) activation indication.
• User equipment receives a reference signal (RS) triggering indication to trigger an RS before SCell activation.
• User equipment performs measurements on the triggered RS.
• User equipment activates the SCell based on the RS measurements.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Enhanced network connectivity for user equipment.
• Improved data transmission and reception in wireless communication systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient activation of secondary cells in wireless communication systems.
• Better management of network resources for improved performance.

Benefits of this technology:

• Faster and more reliable activation of secondary cells.
• Enhanced user experience with improved network connectivity.
• Optimal utilization of network resources for better overall performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment is configured to receive a reference signal when secondary cell (SCell is to be activated. The UE receives a secondary cell (SCell) activation indication for activating an SCell, receives a reference signal (RS) triggering indication for triggering an RS prior to an expected SCell activation period, performs measurements on the triggered RS and activates the SCell based on the RS measurements.
