NETWORK COORDINATION DURING PATH SWITCHING AND MULTI-PATH SCENARIOS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17731539 Titled 'NETWORK COORDINATION DURING PATH SWITCHING AND MULTI-PATH SCENARIOS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support network coordination during scenarios where there is a need to switch paths or use multiple paths. In these scenarios, if there is a degradation in communication between a user equipment (UE) and a network entity, a request message can be sent from the first network entity to a second network entity to switch the connection from the first UE to the second UE. The second network entity acknowledges this request and both network entities configure their respective UEs for the new connection. The first UE then communicates with the second network entity through the second UE.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications supporting network coordination during path switching and multi-path scenarios are described. For example, a first network entity may receive, from a first user equipment (UE), a measurement report indicating a degradation of communications between the first UE and the first network entity. The first network entity may transmit, to a second network entity, a request message to switch a connection between the first UE and the first network entity to a connection between the first UE and the second network entity. The second network entity may transmit, to the first network entity, an acknowledgment based on the request. The first network entity may configure the first UE for the new connection and the second network entity may configure the second UE for the new connection. The first UE may communicate with the second network entity via the second UE.
