ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PREDICTED TRACKING AREA LIST IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18506274 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PREDICTED TRACKING AREA LIST IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a mobility management device to manage the mobility of a user equipment (UE) by predicting the tracking area list and initiating registration procedures based on the UE's location.

  • Obtaining mobility information of a user equipment (UE)
  • Generating a predicted tracking area list for the UE based on the mobility information
  • Transmitting a message to the UE including the predicted tracking area list to initiate a registration procedure
  • Performing a paging procedure in each of the cells in the predicted tracking area list based on identifying downlink data for the UE

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile network management systems to improve the efficiency of registration procedures for user equipment moving between tracking areas.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing the mobility of user equipment in a mobile network by predicting tracking areas and initiating registration procedures accordingly.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved network efficiency, reduced signaling overhead, and enhanced user equipment mobility management.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include mobile network operators, telecommunications companies, and network equipment manufacturers looking to optimize mobility management in their networks.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be related to existing methods for managing user equipment mobility in mobile networks, such as handover procedures and location management techniques.

=== What are the specific steps involved in generating the predicted tracking area list for the user equipment based on mobility information? The specific steps involved in generating the predicted tracking area list for the user equipment based on mobility information include analyzing the current location of the user equipment, predicting its movement pattern, and determining the tracking areas that the user equipment is likely to move into.

=== How does the method ensure efficient paging procedures in each of the cells in the predicted tracking area list? The method ensures efficient paging procedures in each of the cells in the predicted tracking area list by identifying downlink data for the user equipment and performing paging only in the cells where the user equipment is likely to be located, reducing unnecessary signaling overhead.


Original Abstract Submitted

In various embodiments, a method performed by a mobility management device, includes obtaining mobility information of a user equipment (UE). The method includes generating a predicted tracking area list for the UE based on the mobility information. The method includes transmitting, to the UE, a message including the predicted tracking area list to initiate a registration procedure based on the UE being out of a range of a plurality of tracking areas of the predicted tracking area list. The method includes based on identifying downlink data for the UE, performing a paging procedure in each of cells in the predicted tracking area list.
