Radio Access Technology Identifiers - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17996185 titled 'Radio Access Technology Identifiers
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes techniques and apparatuses for managing radio access technology identifiers in wireless communication systems. - The base station receives information about the prospective usage of air interface resources for communications over different wireless links that use different Radio Access Technologies (RATS). - Based on this information, the base station allocates the shared air interface resource between the different wireless links. - The base station then transmits a RAT-identifier-presence indicator to indicate the presence of a RAT identifier, which is used to allocate the shared air interface resource. - The RAT-identifier-presence indicator specifies the downlink air interface resources used to transmit the RAT identifier. - The base station then transmits the RAT identifier using the specified downlink air interface resources. - This technology helps in efficiently managing and allocating air interface resources in wireless communication systems that use different Radio Access Technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques and apparatuses are described for radio access technology identifiers. In aspects, a base station receives air interface resource prospective usage information associated with communications over a first wireless link of at least two wireless links that use different Radio Access Technologies (RATS). The base station then allocates the sharable air interface resource between the at least two wireless links by analyzing the air interface resource prospective usage information. In aspects, the base station transmits a RAT-identifier-presence indicator that communicates a presence of a RAT identifier by indicating one or more downlink air interface resources used to transmit the RAT identifier, where the RAT identifier indicates the allocation of the sharable air interface resource between the at least two wireless links. The base station then transmits the RAT identifier using the one or more downlink air interface resources indicated by the RAT-identifier-presence indicator.
