USER EQUIPMENT AGGREGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18132316 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT AGGREGATION
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application is about user equipment (UE) aggregation, which involves combining multiple UEs into a group. - The UE aggregation group is created based on a subscription with a network. - Configuration information, including details about the group, its member UEs, their roles, and radio access capability signaling, is stored. - When a UE registers with the network, the UE aggregation group is indicated to the network. - The network then enables a communication capability that allows the UEs in the group to communicate together. - The configuration information is used to facilitate this aggregated communication capability.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present application relates to user equipment (UE) aggregation. For instance, a UE aggregation group is defined based on a subscription of multiple UEs with a network. Configuration information identifying the UE aggregation group, its member UEs, the role of each UE (e.g., whether a group leader or, otherwise, a group member), and/or radio access capability signaling (RACS) is stored. Upon a registration of a UE, the UE aggregation group is indicated to the network. The network then enables an aggregated communication capability to the UEs of the UE aggregation group based on the configuration information.
