SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPORTING A GENERALIZED UNAVAILABILITY PERIOD FOR ACCESS TO A WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18312461 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPORTING A GENERALIZED UNAVAILABILITY PERIOD FOR ACCESS TO A WIRELESS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
- The abstract describes a system where a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network can report periods of unavailability to the network entity. - The UE sends a reporting capability to the network entity, indicating its ability to report generalized unavailability periods for different events. - The UE can later determine an upcoming unavailability period due to one or more of these events. - Prior to the unavailability period, the UE sends an unavailability period report to the network entity, providing details such as start time, end time, duration, and event. - The UE can also notify the network entity when the unavailability report has ended, or if it has been cancelled or modified.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) may send a reporting capability to a network entity of a wireless network to indicate that the UE can report generalized unavailability periods to the wireless network for a plurality of different events, where the generalized unavailability periods comprise periods of time during which the UE does not have wireless communication access to the wireless network. The UE may later determine an upcoming unavailability period due to one or more of the plurality of events. The UE may then send an unavailability period report to the network entity prior to the unavailability period and indicative of the unavailability period. The UE may include in the report a start time, end time, duration and/or event for the unavailability period. The UE may later indicate to the network entity when the unavailability report has ended or has been cancelled or modified.
