ALLOCATING ANTENNA RESOURCES TO PREPARE FOR IDLE EQUIPMENT TO TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17829192 titled 'ALLOCATING ANTENNA RESOURCES TO PREPARE FOR IDLE EQUIPMENT TO TRANSITION TO ACTIVE MODE

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes technologies for preparing a connection with a user equipment in a 5G or next generation network while the user equipment is in an idle state.

  • The method involves transmitting a signal from a base station antenna and receiving feedback information from the user equipment.
  • The feedback information describes the receipt of the signal while the user equipment was in an idle mode at a specific location.
  • Based on the feedback information and the location, a model of signal propagation is generated.
  • The model helps understand how signals propagate at that specific location, which can be useful for optimizing network performance and improving connection reliability.


Original Abstract Submitted

The technologies described herein are generally directed to preparing for a connection with a user equipment while the user equipment is in an idle state in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include facilitating transmitting a signal directed by an antenna of base station equipment. The method can further include, facilitating receiving, from a user equipment, a message, wherein the message comprises feedback information describing receipt of the signal while the user equipment was in an idle mode at a location. Further, the method can comprise, based on the feedback information and the location, generating a model of signal propagation applicable to signals at the location.
