PLMN SELECTION FOR MASSIVE IOT OVER SATELLITE ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129842 titled 'PLMN SELECTION FOR MASSIVE IOT OVER SATELLITE ACCESS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a communication system where a user equipment (UE) can access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite and select a preferred Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for different geographic locations. The UE transmits the preferred PLMN information to a base station, which determines the serving PLMN based on the current geographic location of the UE.
- Communication system with UE, base station, and PLMN
- UE can access radio cell via communication satellite
- UE selects preferred PLMN for different geographic locations
- UE transmits preferred PLMN info to base station
- Base station determines serving PLMN based on current geographic location
- Base station may change serving PLMN if location changes
- Base station determination not visible to UE to reduce signaling and resource usage
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in mobile communication systems, satellite communication networks, and location-based services.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of PLMN selection for UE in different locations 2. Reduction of UE signaling and resource usage
Benefits
1. Improved user experience with seamless PLMN selection 2. Optimal network utilization and resource allocation
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimized PLMN Selection System for Mobile Communication Networks"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of location-based services in mobile networks to optimize network selection for users.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle handovers between different PLMNs?
The abstract does not mention how the system manages handovers between different PLMNs when the UE moves between geographic locations.
What security measures are in place to protect the preferred PLMN information transmitted by the UE?
The abstract does not provide details on the security protocols or encryption methods used to safeguard the preferred PLMN information transmitted by the UE to the base station.
Original Abstract Submitted
a communication system including a ue, a base station, and a plmn is disclosed. the ue may access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite. the ue may select a preferred plmn for each of multiple potential geographic locations of the ue. the ue may transmit, to the base station via the radio cell and the communication satellite, an indication of the preferred plmn for each of the multiple potential geographic locations of the ue. the base station may attempt to determine a current geographic location of the ue. the base station may determine a serving plmn as the preferred plmn for the current geographic location of the ue and may later determine a second plmn if the current geographic location changes. the base station determination may not be visible to the ue which may reduce ue signaling and resource usage.
