COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE DEVICES USING JOINT INITIAL ACCESS WITH TERRESTRIAL AND NON-TERRESTRIAL COMMUNICATION NODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137856 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE DEVICES USING JOINT INITIAL ACCESS WITH TERRESTRIAL AND NON-TERRESTRIAL COMMUNICATION NODES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communication system and method that allows user equipment to access both terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes in a service area by partitioning the area into different initial-access zones based on the type of communication nodes present.
- User equipment uses positioning reference signals from positioning anchors to determine its location.
- The service area is divided into terrestrial initial-access zones and non-terrestrial initial-access zones.
- Each terrestrial initial-access zone is associated with terrestrial communication nodes, while each non-terrestrial initial-access zone is associated with non-terrestrial communication nodes.
- Based on its location, the user equipment determines the zone it is in and selects a communication node from the corresponding zone.
- The user equipment then establishes communication with the selected communication node.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Mobile communication networks
- Satellite communication systems
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Efficient initial access to communication nodes
- Seamless transition between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved connectivity for user equipment
- Enhanced network coverage and reliability
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in:
- Telecommunications industry
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of positioning reference signals for location determination in communication systems.
What are the specific positioning reference signals used in this technology?
The specific positioning reference signals used in this technology are signals from positioning anchors.
How does the user equipment determine the zone it is in based on its location?
The user equipment determines the zone it is in based on its location by analyzing the positioning reference signals from the positioning anchors and mapping it to the terrestrial and non-terrestrial initial-access zones.
Original Abstract Submitted
a communication system, a method, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices allowing joint a user equipment to perform initial access with terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes of a service area. the service area is partitioned into terrestrial initial-access zones and non-terrestrial initial-access zones with each terrestrial initial-access zone associated with one or more of the terrestrial communication nodes and each non-terrestrial initial-access zone associated with at least one of the non-terrestrial communication nodes. the user equipment uses positioning reference signals from positioning anchors to determine its location, determine a zone from the terrestrial and non-terrestrial initial-access zones based on the location, select one of the terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication nodes based on the determined zone, and establishing communication with the selected communication node.
