CELL SELECTION IN ENERGY SAVING MODE CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18306388 Titled 'CELL SELECTION IN ENERGY SAVING MODE CELLS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that allow for cell access procedures using different types of discovery signals. These signals are transmitted by network entities operating in an energy-saving mode. A user equipment (UE) can establish wireless connectivity with a first network entity and receive a discovery signal from a second network entity. This discovery signal contains less information than a synchronization signal block (SSB) typically used in a cell access procedure. If certain conditions associated with the discovery signal are met, the UE can send a trigger signal to the second network entity in energy-saving mode, requesting it to transmit a SSB. The UE then monitors for the SSB based on the trigger signal and performs the cell access procedure using the SSB.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for cell access procedures based on multiple types of discovery signals that may be transmitted by network entities operating in an energy saving (ES) mode. A user equipment (UE) may establish wireless connectivity via a first network entity and receive a discovery signal from a second network entity that contains less information than a synchronization signal block (SSB) for use in a cell access procedure. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on one or more conditions associated with the discovery signal being satisfied, a trigger signal to the ES-mode second network entity to transmit a SSB for use in the cell access procedure. The UE may monitor for the SSB based at least in part on the trigger signal, and perform the cell access procedure based at least in part on the SSB.
