USER EQUIPMENT HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519463 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT HANDOVER
Simplified Explanation
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a source base station (BS), a handover message or the beam or panel selection message including multi-beam or multi-panel information identifying a first one or more beams or panels to remain with the source BS and a second one or more beams or panels to switch from the source BS to a target BS during a handover procedure. The UE may perform the handover procedure to switch from the source BS to the target BS with the first one or more beams or panels for communication with the source BS and the second one or more beams or panels for communication with the target BS. Numerous other aspects are provided.
- Simplified Explanation:
- UE receives message from source BS with beam/panel info for handover to target BS. - UE switches beams/panels for communication with source and target BS during handover.
Potential Applications: - 5G networks - Mobile communication systems
Problems Solved: - Seamless handover between base stations - Efficient use of multiple beams/panels for communication
Benefits: - Improved network reliability - Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted communication
Potential Commercial Applications: - Telecommunications companies - Network equipment manufacturers
Possible Prior Art: - Previous handover techniques in wireless communication systems
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the UE determine the optimal beams/panels to switch during the handover process? 2. What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this multi-beam/panel handover procedure in practical wireless networks?
