USER EQUIPMENT HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114417 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT HANDOVER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method of handover at a user equipment (UE) involving conditional handover configurations between network entities (NEs).
- Receiving conditional handover configurations from a first NE for a second NE
- Initiating handover based on conditions being satisfied
- Sending configurations for conditional handover to multiple UEs
- Executing conditional handover based on indications received
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks to improve handover processes between different network entities.
Problems Solved
1. Streamlining handover procedures between network entities 2. Enhancing network efficiency and connectivity for UEs
Benefits
1. Improved network performance and reliability 2. Seamless handover experience for users 3. Enhanced overall user experience with better connectivity
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing handover processes in 5G networks for improved user experience
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be methods of handover optimization in previous generations of mobile networks, such as 4G LTE.
What are the potential security implications of implementing conditional handover configurations in a network?
Implementing conditional handover configurations could introduce vulnerabilities if not properly secured, potentially leading to unauthorized handovers or disruptions in network connectivity. Network operators would need to ensure robust security measures are in place to protect against potential threats.
How does this method of handover compare to traditional handover procedures in terms of efficiency and user experience?
This method of handover offers the potential for more efficient and seamless handover processes, reducing disruptions for users and improving overall network performance. By automating handover decisions based on conditions, it can enhance the user experience by providing better connectivity and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of handover at a user equipment (ue) is provided comprising receiving, from a first network entity (ne), a configuration for conditional handover associated with a second ne. the configuration includes at least one condition. an indication is received by the ue from the first ne to execute the conditional handover. handover is initiated from the first ne to the second ne subject to the condition being satisfied. the condition may be that the indication is received or it may be a channel condition or both. at an ne, configurations for conditional handover are sent to multiple ues, each configuration associated with a target ne and each including at least one condition, and an indication is sent to at least one ue to execute conditional handover.
