MANAGING NON-COORDINATED RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18328033 titled 'MANAGING NON-COORDINATED RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method for managing multiple radio access networks (RANs) connected to a core network. The method involves acquiring information about a wireless communication device's connection to a base station in one RAN, as well as the device's location. Based on this information, the method identifies another RAN that the device may connect to and determines the available frequencies in that RAN. The method then delivers this information to the wireless communication device.

  • The patent application focuses on managing multiple non-coordinated RANs connected to a core network.
  • The method involves acquiring information about a wireless communication device's connection to a base station in one RAN.
  • The device's location is also acquired to determine potential alternative RANs it may connect to.
  • The method identifies the second RAN and determines the available frequencies in that RAN.
  • The information about the second RAN and available frequencies is then delivered to the wireless communication device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Managing a plurality of non-coordinated radio access networks (RANs) connected to the core network is provided by acquiring information indicating that a wireless communication device is connected to a base station in a first of the plurality of RANs, and information indicating a location of the wireless communication device, acquiring information identifying at least a second of the plurality of RANs to which the wireless communication device may connect based on the location of the wireless communication device, and information indicating available frequencies in the second RAN via which frequencies the wireless communication device is allowed to access a network being accessible by the mobility management node, said network being operated by an operator different from those operating the first and second RANs, and delivering the information identifying the second RAN and the information indicating available frequencies in the second RAN to the wireless communication device.
