Adaptive Public Land Mobile Network Management for Varying Network Conditions - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18535743 titled 'Adaptive Public Land Mobile Network Management for Varying Network Conditions

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes apparatuses and techniques of adaptive PLMN management for varying network conditions. In some aspects, a PLMN manager of a user equipment (UE) searches, as part of a registration procedure, a data repository of PLMN information that includes a PLMN blocked from registration for a duration of time and determines that the PLMN is blocked due to a signal-related condition with a cell of the PLMN (e.g., weak signal). The PLMN manager then determines, during the duration of time, that the signal-related condition between the UE and the cell has improved. In response to the improvement, the PLMN manager unblocks the PLMN before expiration of the duration of time. By so doing, the UE may reattempt registration with the unblocked PLMN at least once before the duration of time expires, which may allow the UE to register more quickly and reestablish network services.

  • Adaptive PLMN management for varying network conditions
  • PLMN manager of a user equipment (UE) searches a data repository of PLMN information during registration
  • PLMN may be blocked due to signal-related conditions with a cell (e.g., weak signal)
  • PLMN manager unblocks the PLMN if the signal-related condition improves before the duration of time expires
  • Allows the UE to reattempt registration with the unblocked PLMN quickly

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in: - Mobile network management systems - Telecommunications infrastructure - Network optimization tools

Problems Solved

- Faster registration process for user equipment - Improved network services reestablishment - Efficient management of PLMN under varying network conditions

Benefits

- Enhanced user experience - Reduced registration delays - Optimal network performance

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing network registration processes in: - Mobile network operators - Telecommunications equipment manufacturers - Network service providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of signal strength indicators in mobile devices to determine network connectivity and registration status.

What are the specific signal-related conditions that can cause a PLMN to be blocked?

The abstract mentions weak signal as an example of a signal-related condition, but it does not specify other potential conditions that could lead to PLMN blocking.

How does the PLMN manager determine that the signal-related condition has improved between the UE and the cell?

The abstract mentions that the PLMN manager determines the improvement, but it does not detail the specific methods or criteria used to make this determination.
