INTER-SECONDARY NODE CONDITIONAL CELL CHANGE AND MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098611 titled 'INTER-SECONDARY NODE CONDITIONAL CELL CHANGE AND MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a method for configuring measurements related to inter-secondary node conditional reconfiguration, involving messages exchanged between source secondary nodes, master nodes, and target candidate cells.

  • Source secondary nodes send a message to a master node indicating conditional reconfiguration and information about target candidate cells.
  • The master node then sends a message to the target candidate cells requesting secondary node addition and providing information about the target candidate cells.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks for optimizing cell configurations and improving network performance.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently reconfiguring cells in a network based on certain conditions, leading to better network management and performance.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced network flexibility, improved resource allocation, and better overall network efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the deployment and management of 5G networks, where dynamic cell reconfiguration is crucial for optimal performance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be related to existing methods for cell reconfiguration in wireless networks, but with a focus on inter-secondary node conditional changes.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network scalability?

This technology could potentially improve network scalability by allowing for more efficient and dynamic cell reconfigurations based on specific conditions, thus optimizing network resources and performance.

What are the security implications of implementing this technology?

The implementation of this technology may raise security concerns related to the exchange of messages between nodes and potential vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure. Proper encryption and authentication mechanisms would need to be in place to address these security issues.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to inter-secondary node (sn) conditional cell change and measurement configuration. in one embodiment, a method for configuring measurements related to inter-sn conditional reconfiguration comprises, at a source secondary node (s-sn), sending, to a master node (mn), a first message comprising an indication that the first message is for conditional reconfiguration and information about one or more target candidate cells of a target candidate sn. the method further comprises, at the mn, receiving the first message from the s-sn and sending a second message to the target candidate sn, the second message being a request for sn addition and comprising an indication that the second message is for conditional reconfiguration and information about the one or more target candidate cells of the target candidate sn.
