COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE, INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT, CORE NETWORK EQUIPMENT AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353910 titled 'COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE, INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT, CORE NETWORK EQUIPMENT AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for a communications device in a coverage region of a first cell generated by a non-terrestrial network part of a wireless communications network. The method involves determining if the coverage area of the first cell overlaps with a region associated with a coverage area of at least one non-serving cell. If there is an overlap, the method initiates measurements of signals transmitted on a frequency used by infrastructure equipment associated with the non-serving cell.
- The method is designed for a communications device in a non-terrestrial network coverage region.
- It determines if the serving cell's coverage area overlaps with a non-serving cell's coverage area.
- If there is an overlap, the method initiates measurements of signals transmitted by the non-serving cell's infrastructure equipment.
- The measurements are performed on a specific frequency used by the non-serving cell.
- This method helps the communications device gather information about signals from non-serving cells in its coverage area.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for a communications device in a coverage region of a first cell generated by a non-terrestrial network part of a wireless communications network, the first cell being a serving cell for the communications device, the method comprising determining whether the coverage area of the first cell overlaps with a region associated with a coverage area of at least one non-serving cell, and in response to determining that the coverage area of the serving cell overlaps with a region associated with a coverage area of at least one non-serving cell, initiating measurements of signals transmitted on a frequency which is used for transmissions by infrastructure equipment associated with the at least one non-serving cell.
