METHOD AND WIRELESS DEVICE FOR HANDLING HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121680 titled 'METHOD AND WIRELESS DEVICE FOR HANDLING HANDOVER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and a wireless device for handling handover in a wireless network from a source cell to a target cell when the device has obtained and stored a handover configuration for at least one target cell. Upon detecting a communication failure, the wireless device performs cell selection and initiates handover to one of the target cells when that cell was selected, by applying the stored handover configuration of the selected cell. When none of the target cells was selected in the cell selection, the wireless device initiates an RRC re-establishment procedure.

  • Method and wireless device for handling handover in a wireless network
  • Device stores handover configuration for target cells
  • Initiates handover to selected target cell upon communication failure
  • Performs cell selection based on stored configuration
  • Initiates RRC re-establishment procedure if no target cell is selected

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as mobile networks, to ensure seamless handover between cells and maintain uninterrupted connectivity for users.

Problems Solved

1. Communication failures during handover processes 2. Ensuring efficient and reliable cell selection for handover procedures

Benefits

1. Improved user experience with seamless handover 2. Enhanced network reliability and performance 3. Reduced downtime during handover processes

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing handover procedures in 5G networks for faster and more reliable connectivity

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of handover configurations in wireless networks to facilitate smooth transitions between cells.

Unanswered Questions

How does the method handle handover in scenarios with high network traffic?

The abstract does not provide information on how the method adapts to high network traffic situations and ensures efficient handover processes.

What impact does the technology have on battery consumption in wireless devices?

The abstract does not address the potential impact of the technology on battery consumption in wireless devices during handover procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method and a wireless device () for handling handover in a wireless network () from a source cell () to a target cell when the device has obtained and stored a handover configuration for at least one target cell x (a-c). upon detecting a communication failure, the wireless device () performs cell selection and initiates handover to one of the target cell(s) x when that cell was selected, by applying the stored handover configuration of the selected cell. when none of the target cell(s) x was selected in the cell selection, the wireless device () initiates an rrc re-establishment procedure.
