COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18208645 Titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a communication system that uses two different component carriers to operate two separate cells. The first component carrier is used to provide a control channel and reference signals of a first type, while the second component carrier does not provide these signals but instead provides reference signals of a second type. The base station uses measurements performed on the reference signals of the second type to determine if a mobile communication device is within the coverage area of the second cell. If it is, the base station transmits cell configuration information to the mobile communication device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system is presented in which a base station operates a first cell using a first component carrier and a second cell using a second component carrier. A control channel and reference signals of a first type are provided using the first component carrier. The control channel and the reference signals of the first type are not provided, and reference signals of a second type are provided, using the second component carrier. The base station determines from results of measurements performed on reference signals of the second type whether or not the mobile communication device is within an area covered by said second cell and, if it is, transmits cell configuration information to the mobile communication device.
