COMMUNICATION CONNECTIVITY MANAGEMENT BASED ON UE MOBILITY CONTEXT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236803 titled 'COMMUNICATION CONNECTIVITY MANAGEMENT BASED ON UE MOBILITY CONTEXT

The abstract describes a patent application for a system involving one or more processors that enable a user equipment (UE) to perform various operations related to mobility events and connectivity changes within a network.

The system includes circuitry that executes instructions for the UE to transmit a message indicating its capabilities to a network entity.
It also involves analyzing contextual information associated with the UE to predict a mobility event within a specific time window.
The system then sends a message to the network entity to notify it of the anticipated mobility event.
Based on this information, the system determines when to make a connectivity change to optimize the UE's performance during the mobility event.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be applied in mobile networks to enhance the efficiency of handovers between different cell towers. - It could also be used in IoT devices to improve seamless connectivity as devices move within a network.

Problems Solved: - Addressing potential disruptions in connectivity during mobility events. - Optimizing network resources based on predicted mobility patterns.

Benefits: - Improved user experience with uninterrupted connectivity. - Enhanced network efficiency and resource allocation.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Mobility Management System for Improved Network Performance" This technology could be valuable for telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and network infrastructure providers looking to optimize connectivity and mobility management in their systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve the overall performance of a network during mobility events? 2. What are the key factors considered when determining the timing of connectivity changes during mobility events?

Original Abstract Submitted

one or more processors are provided. the one or more processors include circuitry that executes instructions to cause a user equipment (ue) to perform operations. the operations include transmitting, to a network entity, a first message indicating a capability of the ue. the operations include determining, based on contextual information associated with the ue, an anticipated mobility event to occur during a time window. the operations include transmitting, to the network entity, a second message indicative of the mobility event. the operations include determining to make a connectivity change when the mobility event occurs. a network entity and a method are also provided.
