POWER SAVING OPTIMIZATION FOR HIGH-MOBILITY SCENARIOS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107613 titled 'POWER SAVING OPTIMIZATION FOR HIGH-MOBILITY SCENARIOS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for managing the handover of a user equipment (UE) from one cell to another in a network based on the bandwidth part (BWP) of the connection.
- Determining if a UE is connected to a cell in standalone mode.
- Accessing a list of physical cell identifiers (PCIs) associated with the UE.
- Assigning a timeout value to a BWP switch timer based on the number of PCIs and duration of the time period.
- Initiating the BWP switch timer.
- Switching the UE to LTE mode if handover occurs before the timer reaches the timeout value.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve handover management and optimize network resources.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient handover management in cellular networks. 2. Optimization of network resources based on UE connection parameters.
Benefits
1. Improved network efficiency. 2. Enhanced user experience with seamless handovers. 3. Better utilization of network resources.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Handover Management in Cellular Networks" can be used in telecommunications companies to enhance network performance and customer satisfaction.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be methods for managing handovers in cellular networks based on signal strength and network congestion levels.

Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: determining that a user equipment (ue) is connected to a cell of a network using a connection in a standalone (sa) mode; based on determining a bandwidth part (bwp) of the connection, accessing a physical cell identifier (pci) list associated with the ue for a time period; based on the number of pci values in the list and a duration of the time period, assigning, to a bwp switch timer, a timeout value; initiating the bwp switch timer; and in response to determining that the handover of the ue to the different cell of the network occurs prior to the bwp switch timer reaching the timeout value, causing the ue to switch to a lte mode.
