TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING LAYER 1/LAYER 2 MOBILITY BASED ON MULTIPLE SECONDARY CELL GROUP CONFIGURATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098603 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING LAYER 1/LAYER 2 MOBILITY BASED ON MULTIPLE SECONDARY CELL GROUP CONFIGURATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to improving layer 1 (L1)/layer 2 (L2) mobility in certain scenarios by receiving an indication of mobility from a first cell to a second cell and transmitting parameters related to mobility failure, mobility history, or radio link failure associated with the mobility.

  • An indication of mobility from a first cell to a second cell is received.
  • Parameters related to mobility failure, mobility history, or radio link failure are transmitted to assist in subsequent L1/L2 mobility for the UE or avoiding RLF or mobility failure during the subsequent L1/L2 mobility.
  • A list of conditional primary secondary cell (PSCell) change (CPC) configurations can be communicated following a PCell switch.

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in: - Mobile telecommunications networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Autonomous vehicles

Problems Solved

- Improving mobility management in cellular networks - Enhancing user experience during handovers between cells - Minimizing radio link failures during mobility events

Benefits

- Increased reliability of mobile connections - Reduced latency during handovers - Enhanced network efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

aspects described herein relate to improving layer 1 (l1)/layer 2 (l2) mobility in certain scenarios. in some aspects, an indication of mobility from a first cell in a candidate cell set configured for l1/l2 mobility to a second cell can be received, and one or more parameters related to mobility failure or mobility history or radio link failure (rlf) associated with the mobility to assist the network node in at least one of performing a subsequent l1/l2 mobility for the ue or avoiding rlf or mobility failure during the subsequent l1/l2 mobility can be transmitted. in other aspects, the indication of mobility can be transmitted and the one or more parameters can be received. in some aspects, a list of conditional primary secondary cell (pscell) change (cpc) configurations can be communicated following a pcell switch.
