Beam Management for Deactivated Secondary Cell Group (SCG) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18025425 titled 'Beam Management for Deactivated Secondary Cell Group (SCG)
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes methods for a user equipment (UE) to communicate with a wireless network using a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). - The UE can enter a reduced-energy mode for the SCG when it receives a command from either the MCG or the SCG. - While in the reduced-energy mode for the SCG and connected to the MCG, the UE can perform SCG measurements and report them to the wireless network. - The SCG measurements can be reported through either the MCG or the SCG. - The patent application also includes methods for network nodes that provide the MCG and the SCG, as well as UEs and network nodes configured to perform these methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a wireless network via a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). Such methods include entering a reduced-energy mode for the SCG responsive to receiving a first command via the MCG or the SCG. Such methods also include, while in the reduced-energy mode for the SCG and in a connected mode for the MCG, performing SCG measurements and reporting the SCG measurements to the wireless network (e.g., via MCG or SCG). Other embodiments include complementary methods for first and second network nodes arranged, respectively, to provide the MCG and the SCG, as well as UEs and network nodes configured to perform the exemplary methods. is selected for publication.
