REQUESTING TIMING ADVANCE ACQUISITION FOR OTHER CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296902 titled 'REQUESTING TIMING ADVANCE ACQUISITION FOR OTHER CELLS
The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment apparatus (UE) that can establish a connection with a control network node, receive configuration information for preparing the UE for connecting with candidate target cells, and implement a configuration based on the received information.
- The UE apparatus includes processors and memory storing instructions.
- It establishes a connection with a control network node via a serving cell.
- The control network node supports control unit-control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol of a radio access network.
- The UE receives an RRC message from the control network node containing configuration information for preparing the UE for candidate target cells.
- It also receives further configuration information for acquiring timing advance for other cells and performing cell detection/measurement.
- The UE implements a configuration based on the received information.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in mobile communication devices to optimize cell connections and improve network performance. - It can enhance the efficiency of handovers between different cells in a wireless network.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of connecting to different cells in a network. - Improving the overall performance and reliability of mobile communication devices.
Benefits: - Enhanced network connectivity and performance. - Improved user experience with seamless cell transitions. - Optimal utilization of network resources.
Commercial Applications: - Telecom companies can integrate this technology into their network infrastructure to enhance the efficiency of mobile communication services. - Device manufacturers can incorporate this innovation into their products to offer better connectivity to users.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the handover process between different cells in a network? 2. What are the key benefits of implementing this configuration-based approach in user equipment apparatus?
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a user equipment apparatus (UE) that includes processor(s) and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the UE at least to, establish a connection with a control network node via a serving cell, where the control network node supports at least one of control unit-control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol of a radio access network; receive, from the control network node, an RRC message that includes: configuration information for preparing the UE for candidate target cell(s) with which the UE may connect, and further configuration information for preparing the UE to acquire timing advance (TA) for other cell(s) with which the UE may connect and/or perform cell detection/measurement, where the further configuration information is received prior to the UE connecting with any of the other cell(s); and implement a configuration based on the configuration information and the further configuration information.
