TECHNIQUES FOR AVOIDING FREQUENT HANDOVER IN SMALL CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17914752 Titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR AVOIDING FREQUENT HANDOVER IN SMALL CELLS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces a technique for a user equipment (UE) to avoid frequent handovers in small cells by triggering a handover to a macro cell. The UE determines if it has performed multiple handovers within a specific time period and decides to initiate a handover to the macro cell. It identifies the macro cell by measuring it during multiple handovers. To streamline the process, the UE refrains from including signal measurements of small cells in a measurement report. Instead, the measurement report only includes the signal measurement of the macro cell. The UE then transmits this measurement report to the small cell that is currently serving it. Based on the measurement report, the UE receives a message that initiates a handover procedure with the macro cell.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may avoid frequent handover in small cells by triggering handover to a macro cell. The UE may determine that the UE performs a number of handovers within a time period. The UE may determine to trigger a handover to the macro cell. The UE may identify the macro cell based on measuring the macro cell during multiple handovers. The UE may determine to refrain from indicating signal measurements of small cells in a measurement report. Accordingly, a measurement report may include a signal measurement of the macro cell and omit the signal measurements of the small cells. The UE may transmit the measurement report to the small cell acting as a serving cell for the UE. Based the measurement report, the UE may receive a message initiating a handover procedure with the macro cell.
