CELL ACCESS METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18152512 titled 'CELL ACCESS METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method and apparatus for accessing cell networks using different carriers. The method involves a terminal device receiving a message that contains information about a cell of a second carrier and a first indication related to a specific bandwidth part (BWP). The terminal device then accesses the cell of the second carrier based on the BWP and the remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

The method involves a terminal device receiving a message with information about a cell of a second carrier and a first indication related to a specific bandwidth part (BWP).
The first indication provides information about the BWP, which helps the terminal device access the cell of the second carrier.
The terminal device accesses the cell of the second carrier based on the BWP and the remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

Potential applications of this technology:

Improved cell network access for terminal devices using different carriers.
Enhanced efficiency in accessing cell networks with multiple carriers.
Seamless switching between different carriers for terminal devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

Simplifies the process of accessing cell networks with different carriers.
Reduces the complexity and time required for terminal devices to connect to different carriers.
Provides a more efficient and seamless experience for users switching between carriers.

Benefits of this technology:

Faster and more reliable cell network access for terminal devices.
Improved user experience when switching between carriers.
Increased efficiency in utilizing multiple carriers for better network performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

Example cell access methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, a terminal device receives a first message in a cell of a first carrier. The first message includes remaining minimum system information (RMSI) of a cell of a second carrier and a first indication, and the first indication indicates information about a first bandwidth part (BWP). The terminal device accesses the cell of the second carrier based on the first BWP and the RMSI.
