FACILITATING TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MODE BY AN IDLE DEVICE BASED ON AN ACTIVATION REQUEST - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17829188 titled 'FACILITATING TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MODE BY AN IDLE DEVICE BASED ON AN ACTIVATION REQUEST
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes technologies for facilitating a transition to active mode in 5G or other next-generation networks. Here are the key points:
- The technology aims to provide radio resources to idle user equipment based on a paging message.
- The method involves identifying an idle mode activation message.
- Based on this message, the technology predicts that the user device will request an active connection.
- The allocation of antenna resources is then prioritized for the user device over other idle user devices.
- This prioritization is based on the prediction that the user device will transition to an active state before others.
- To facilitate the active connection, the technology directs a base station to send a beamformed signal to the predicted location of the user device.
Original Abstract Submitted
The technologies described herein are generally directed to providing, based on a paging message, radio resources to facilitate a transition to active mode by idle user equipment in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. An example method can include identifying an idle mode activation message. The method can further include, based on the activation message, predicting that the user device is going to request an active connection. Further, the method can include prioritizing allocation of antenna resources to the user device over different user devices in an idle state, based on a prediction that the user device will transition to an active state before the different user devices. Further, the method can include, based on the prioritizing, directing a base station to cause a beamformed signal to a predicted location of the user device to accept the active connection.
