SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO OPTIMIZE NON-3GPP UNTRUSTED WI-FI TO NEW RADIO EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM FALLBACK HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18518145 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO OPTIMIZE NON-3GPP UNTRUSTED WI-FI TO NEW RADIO EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM FALLBACK HANDOVER
Simplified Explanation
The present technology focuses on optimizing a handover from a non-3GPP untrusted Wi-Fi network to a 5G system, specifically by delaying the removal of Wi-Fi session resources and creating a voice flow as part of the EPS fallback process.
- Explanation of the patent:
- Receive a request for an EPS fallback from a mobile device during communication over a non-3GPP access network.
- Maintain resources of the non-3GPP access network during the switch from the non-3GPP network to the 5G network.
- Generate a list of EPS bearer identifiers associated with a voice flow to transfer resources of the non-3GPP network during the handover.
- Transmit the list of EPS bearer identifiers to an AMF and MME for further processing.
- Potential Applications
- Seamless handover from Wi-Fi to 5G networks for mobile devices. - Enhanced voice flow management during network transitions.
- Problems Solved
- Efficient resource utilization during network handovers. - Smooth transition for voice calls between different network types.
- Benefits
- Improved call quality and reliability during network handovers. - Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted voice communication.
- Potential Commercial Applications
- Optimized Handover Technology for 5G Networks
- Potential Commercial Applications
- Possible Prior Art
No prior art known at this time.
- Unanswered Questions
- How does this technology impact battery life on mobile devices during network handovers?
This article does not address the potential impact on battery life during network transitions. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the effect on battery performance.
- Are there any limitations to the number of simultaneous voice flows that can be managed using this technology?
The article does not specify any limitations on the number of voice flows that can be handled concurrently. Additional information or testing may be required to understand the scalability of this technology in managing multiple voice flows.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present technology is generally directed to optimizing a non-3GPP untrusted Wi-Fi to 5G system handover followed by Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback, more specifically, to delaying removal of the Wi-Fi session resources and creating a voice flow as part of the EPS fallback. The present technology can receive a request for an EPS fallback from a mobile device for a handover to a 5G network while the mobile device is in communication over non-3GPP access network, maintain one or more resources of the non-3GPP access network during data path switching from the non-3GPP access network to the 5G network, generate a list of EPS bearer identifiers to transmit to an access and mobility management function (AMF), wherein the list of EPS bearer identifiers is associated with a voice flow to transfer the one or more resources of the non-3GPP access network as part of the handover from the non-3GPP access network to the 5G network, and transmit the list of EPS bearer identifiers to a mobility management entity (MME).
