METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SERVICE-CONTINUITY INDICATION IN SIDELINK USER EQUIPMENT TO NETWORK RELAY DURING PATH SWITCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18245272 titled 'METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SERVICE-CONTINUITY INDICATION IN SIDELINK USER EQUIPMENT TO NETWORK RELAY DURING PATH SWITCH
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes methods, apparatuses, and computer program products that help with relay discovery, selection, and reselection for U2N relaying over SL (Single Link) using a service-continuity indication. - The service-continuity indication is provided through solicitation messages sent from a remote UE (User Equipment) to one or more relay UEs (User Equipment). - The serving network can identify the relay UE(s) through a remote configuration for the remote UE or by transmitting a response message to the remote UE via SL. - The remote UE can prioritize potential relay UE candidates identified by the serving network.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided to facilitate relay discovery, selection, and/or reselection for U2N relaying over SL utilizing a service-continuity indication provided via one or more solicitation messages from a remote UE to at least one relay UE. In some embodiments, a serving network may provide identification of the at least one relay UE via a remote configuration for the remote UE. In some embodiments, the serving network may provide identification of the at least one relay UE via a response message transmitted to the remote UE via SL. In some embodiments, the remote UE may prioritize one or more potential relay UE candidates identified by the serving network.
