METHOD AND USER EQUIPMENT FOR CONTROLLING MOBILITY DURING CONDITIONAL HANDOVER IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181045 titled 'METHOD AND USER EQUIPMENT FOR CONTROLLING MOBILITY DURING CONDITIONAL HANDOVER IN WIRELESS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for controlling the movement of a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network during a conditional handover.

  • Conditional handover refers to the process of transferring a UE from one cell to another in a wireless network based on certain conditions.
  • The method involves receiving a configuration for the conditional handover from the current cell in the network.
  • The UE initiates a data transmission using a specific type of network slice called RAN slice with the current cell.
  • The method detects multiple neighboring cells that meet the conditions specified in the handover configuration.
  • It determines whether a specific neighboring cell supports the same type of RAN slice used by the current cell.
  • If the neighboring cell supports the RAN slice, a handover request is executed to transfer the data transmission to the neighboring cell using the same RAN slice.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling mobility of a User Equipment (UE) during conditional handover in a wireless network is provided. The method includes receiving a CHO configuration from a first cell in the wireless network. The method includes initiating a data 5 transmission using a RAN slice(s) with the first cell. The method includes detects a plurality of candidate neighbor cells of the first cell satisfying the CHO configuration. The method includes determines whether a second cell supports the RAN slice(s) from the plurality of the candidate neighbor cells. The method includes 10 executing a CHO request to the second cell to continue the data transmission over the one RAN slice(s).
