ALLOCATING RADIO RESOURCES TO IDLE USER EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PREDICTED TO TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17829051 titled 'ALLOCATING RADIO RESOURCES TO IDLE USER EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PREDICTED TO TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MODE
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application is about technologies that aim to provide radio resources to support the transition of idle user equipment to active mode in 5G or other next-generation networks. - The method described in the patent application involves predicting when a group of idle user equipment will transition to active mode within a specific time duration. - The method also involves identifying base station equipment that can provide coverage to the user equipment during the predicted time duration. - Additionally, the method prioritizes the allocation of antenna resources from the base station equipment to facilitate an active mode connection between the user equipment and the base station equipment. - The innovation aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of transitioning idle user equipment to active mode in a network.
Original Abstract Submitted
The technologies described herein are generally directed to providing radio resources to facilitate a predicted transition to active mode by idle user equipment in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. An example method can include predicting that a user equipment of a group of user equipment in an idle mode will transition to an active mode after passage of a time duration, starting from the predicting, that is lower than a time threshold. The method can further include identifying base station equipment that is able to provide coverage to the user equipment during the passage of the time duration before the user equipment transitions to the active mode. Further, the method can include prioritizing allocation of, within the group of user equipment, an antenna resource of the base station equipment to provide the coverage to facilitate an active mode connection by the user equipment to the base station equipment.
