METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO LOCALISATION IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546377 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO LOCALISATION IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method and system for integrating a 5G communication system with IoT technology to support higher data rates and enable intelligent services in various sectors.

  • The patent application focuses on localizing User Equipment (UE) in a Non-Public Network (NPN) that utilizes a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for registration and localization.
  • The method involves leveraging the coextensive nature of the PLMN with the NPN to perform accurate localization of the UE within the network.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various sectors such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security, and safety services.

Problems Solved

1. Enhanced localization of User Equipment within a Non-Public Network. 2. Integration of 5G communication system with IoT technology for improved data rates and intelligent services.

Benefits

1. Higher data rates supported by the 5G system. 2. Improved localization accuracy within the network. 3. Enablement of intelligent services in different sectors.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing localization services in smart buildings and cities for efficient management and operations.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to localization methods within mobile networks, but the specific integration of 5G communication systems with IoT technology for localization in a Non-Public Network may be a novel approach.

Unanswered Questions

== How does this technology impact privacy concerns in IoT applications? The article does not address the potential privacy implications of integrating 5G communication systems with IoT technology for localization within a network.

== What are the scalability limitations of this method in large-scale IoT deployments? The scalability of this method in extensive IoT deployments is not discussed in the article.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Disclosed is a method of performing localisation of a User Equipment, UE, in a Non-Public Network, NPN, wherein the NPN, utilises an at least partially coextensive Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN, with which the UE is registered, to perform the localisation.
