METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING A BASE STATION IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129847 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING A BASE STATION IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure involves methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for selecting a base station (BS) in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) based on various information related to an aircraft user equipment (UE) in an airspace. This includes information such as global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data, flight level (FL) information, projected trajectory, and coverage preferences of the BSs. The selected BS is then used to establish a wireless connection with the aircraft UE.
- Selection of base station (BS) in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) based on aircraft user equipment (UE) information.
- Utilization of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data, flight level (FL) information, projected trajectory, and coverage preferences of BSs for selection.
- Establishment of a wireless connection with the selected BS to provide connectivity to the aircraft UE.
