NON-STANDALONE 5G SHARED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18732213 titled 'NON-STANDALONE 5G SHARED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
This patent application relates to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices. It involves determining whether an NSA 5G cell of another MNO satisfies performance criteria before measuring and sending measurement data for an NSA 4G LTE anchor cell associated with the NSA 5G cell to a wireless network.
- 5G-capable wireless device determines if NSA 5G cell meets performance criteria before sending measurement data for NSA 4G LTE anchor cell.
- Refraining from sending measurement data under certain conditions keeps the device connected to the legacy 4G LTE cell.
- Device maintains a database of valid NSA 4G LTE cells for reselection/handover.

Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices. A 5G-capable wireless device of an MNO, while connected to or camped on a legacy 4G LTE cell of the MNO and not engaged in a 4G only LTE service, determines whether an NSA 5G cell of another MNO satisfies performance criteria before measuring and/or sending measurement data for an NSA 4G LTE anchor cell associated with the NSA 5G cell to a wireless network. Refraining from measuring and/or sending measurement data under certain conditions causes the 5G-capable wireless device of the MNO to remain connected to or camped on the legacy 4G LTE cell of the MNO rather than reselecting or handing over to the NSA 4G LTE cell of another MNO. The 5G-capable wireless device also maintains a database of information for valid NSA 4G LTE cells to which to reselect/handover.
