INFORMATION OBTAINING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129848 titled 'INFORMATION OBTAINING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for a mobile relay device to obtain information in a permitted area, including obtaining a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a relay cell for providing a relay service to a terminal device.

  • Mobile relay device moves to a permitted area covered by a donor base station.
  • Mobile relay device obtains the PCI of a relay cell in the permitted area.
  • Relay cell is accessed by the terminal device served by the mobile relay device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile communication networks to improve coverage and connectivity for terminal devices in areas with poor signal strength.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of providing a relay service for terminal devices in areas where direct communication with the base station is not possible.

Benefits

- Improved coverage and connectivity for terminal devices. - Enhanced reliability of communication in areas with signal issues.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Mobile Network Coverage and Connectivity with Relay Devices"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing methods for relay devices to improve coverage in mobile networks, but this specific approach of obtaining the PCI of a relay cell in a permitted area may be novel.

What are the technical specifications of the mobile relay device described in the patent application?

The technical specifications of the mobile relay device, such as its size, weight, power requirements, and communication protocols, are not provided in the abstract of the patent application.

How does the mobile relay device determine the permitted area in which it can use the relay function?

The abstract does not specify how the mobile relay device determines the permitted area in which it is allowed to use the relay function.


Original Abstract Submitted

this application provides an information obtaining method that includes: a mobile relay device moves to a permitted area in which the mobile relay device is allowed to use a relay function, where the permitted area is a cell covered by a donor base station. the mobile relay device obtains, in the permitted area, a physical cell identifier pci of a relay cell via which the relay function is provided for a terminal device, where the relay cell is a cell accessed by the terminal device. in this way, the mobile relay device can obtain the pci, and provide a relay service for the terminal device served by the mobile relay device.
