NON-STANDALONE PRIMARY SECONDARY CELL SELECTION BASED ON HIGHER PRIORITY BAND - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17664686 titled 'NON-STANDALONE PRIMARY SECONDARY CELL SELECTION BASED ON HIGHER PRIORITY BAND

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about a technology that helps mobile devices prioritize the selection of a new radio primary secondary cell (PSCell) in non-standalone scenarios.

  • Mobile devices collect measurement reports for available new radio frequency bands.
  • The devices can indicate their preferred PSCell to the network by prioritizing the reporting of measurement data.
  • The network can bias the selection of a PSCell by providing different time-to-trigger periods for different frequency bands.
  • Mobile devices can prioritize PSCell selection based on current conditions, such as the needs of the application program being used.
  • The selection can also consider factors like remaining battery capacity and thermal conditions of the device.
  • The mobile device and network collaborate to select the most suitable PSCell based on these conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosed technology is directed towards prioritizing selection of a new radio primary secondary cell (PSCell) for use by user equipment in non-standalone scenarios. User equipment (a mobile device) obtains measurement reports for available new radio frequency bands. The mobile device can prioritize the reporting of the measurement data so as to indicate to the network which candidate PSCell that the user equipment prefers to have selected. The network can bias selection of one candidate PSCell over others by providing different time-to-trigger periods for different available frequency bands. A mobile device can prioritize PSCell selection based on current conditions, such as based on application program needs, so as to use a PSCell with bandwidth that is appropriate for a current application program in use. The mobile device and network can collaborate to select a PSCell based on other conditions such as remaining battery capacity of the device and/or thermal conditions.
