NETWORK HANDOVER METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18660982 titled 'NETWORK HANDOVER METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation:

The abstract describes a system where a first access network device (AND) can hand over a group of terminal devices to a second AND. After receiving permission from the second AND, the first AND sends a message to the terminal devices to indicate the handover. Once the handover is complete, the first AND switches off one or more cells.

Key Features and Innovation:

First AND requests handover of terminal devices to second AND
Terminal devices are handed over based on permission from second AND
First AND sends message to terminal devices for handover
First AND switches off cells after handover

Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in various network environments where seamless handover of terminal devices is required.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient handover of terminal devices between access network devices.

Benefits:

Improved network efficiency
Seamless handover process
Enhanced user experience

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include telecommunications networks, IoT systems, and other wireless communication environments where handover of devices is necessary.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to this technology in the field of network handover protocols and cellular communication systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may find relevant studies on network handover protocols and cellular communication systems that could further enhance this technology.

Questions about Network Handover Technology: 1. How does this technology improve network efficiency during device handover processes? 2. What are the key factors that determine the success of terminal device handovers in this system?

Original Abstract Submitted

A first access network device (AND) sends a first message to a second AND. The first message is usable to request to hand over a group of terminal devices under the first AND to the second AND. The group of terminal devices includes one or more terminal devices. In response to the first AND receiving a first response message from the second AND for the first message, the first AND sends a second message to the terminal devices. The first response message is usable to indicate that the terminal devices are allowed to be handed over to the second AND, and the second message is usable to indicate the terminal devices to be handed over to the second AND. After the terminal devices are handed over to the second AND, the first AND switches off one or more cells.
