Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes technologies for providing internetwork coverage to user equipment affected by a temporary network outage in a 5G or next generation network.

  • The method involves identifying an outage area where there is a network interruption.
  • Based on the outage area, the method identifies user equipment that is affected by the coverage interruption.
  • A notification is then communicated to the affected user equipment, informing them of the coverage interruption.
