DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CELL MANAGEMENT IN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18305838 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CELL MANAGEMENT IN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a radio access network (RAN) controller that can manage handovers between different cells for user equipment (UE) in a wireless network.
- The RAN controller has a transceiver and a processor.
- The processor collects measurement reports from multiple UEs, which contain information about the signal quality of each cell for each UE.
- The processor uses these measurement reports to identify candidate cells for each UE, based on their signal quality.
- The processor then sends a control message to the serving base station of each UE, containing identification information for the UE and the candidate cells.
- The control message also includes a handover priority for each candidate cell, indicating which cell should be accessed first.
- The candidate cells include a primary cell for initial access and a secondary cell for backup access if the primary cell fails.
Overall, this patent application describes a system for efficiently managing handovers between different cells in a wireless network, ensuring seamless connectivity for user equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A radio access network (RAN) controller is provided. The RAN controller includes at least one transceiver and at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one transceiver. The at least one processor is configured to obtain measurement reports of a plurality of user equipment (UE)s. Each measurement report includes a measurement result per cell of a corresponding UE. The at least one processor is configured to identify candidate cells of a UE among the plurality of UEs, based on the measurement reports. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, to a serving base station for the UE, a control message including identification information for indicating the UE and identification information for indicating the candidate cells of the UE. The control message indicates a handover priority of each cell of the candidate cells. The candidate cells comprise a first cell for access and a second cell for access to be performed in response to a failure of the access to the first cell.
