STREAMLINING MOBILITY BETWEEN DIFFERENT G-NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240284268 titled 'STREAMLINING MOBILITY BETWEEN DIFFERENT G-NETWORKS
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application discusses a system for maintaining network connections while transitioning between different technologies, such as moving from 2G/3G to 5G standards. A Mobility Management Entity (MME) on a 4G platform manages the transfer of sessions between platforms, ensuring seamless connectivity.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Mobility Management Entity (MME) controls session transfers between different network platforms. - Classifies sessions on user equipment (UE) as anchored in GGSN, PGW, or SMF. - Transfers transferable sessions and terminates those that cannot be transferred. - Allows devices to reestablish connections without waiting for timeout failures.
- Potential Applications:**
- Telecommunications industry for seamless network transitions. - Mobile devices for uninterrupted connectivity during technology shifts. - IoT devices for maintaining connections in diverse network environments.
- Problems Solved:**
- Ensures continuous network connectivity during technology transitions. - Prevents interruptions in data sessions when moving between different network standards. - Improves user experience by reducing downtime during network handovers.
- Benefits:**
- Seamless network transitions for improved user experience. - Enhanced reliability of network connections during technology shifts. - Efficient management of sessions for optimized network performance.
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Seamless Network Transition Technology for Telecommunications Industry This technology can be utilized by telecom companies to offer uninterrupted network services to customers, ensuring a seamless transition between different network technologies. It can also be integrated into mobile devices and IoT systems to maintain connectivity in diverse network environments, enhancing user experience and reliability.
- Questions about Network Transition Technology:**
1. How does the Mobility Management Entity (MME) facilitate seamless network transitions? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the telecommunications industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure relate to maintaining a network connection while moving from location to location as between different technologies such as from the 2g/3g to the 5g standard, and vice versa. a mobility management entity (mme), e.g., on a 4g platform, controls the transfers of sessions from the 4g platform to the 2g/3g platform when the and/or from the 4g platform to the 5g platform. the mme classifies different sessions on the ue as anchored in ggsn, pgw or smf. when needed, the mme is then able to transfer the sessions that are transferrable and to terminate the ones that cannot be transferred. by terminating the ones that cannot be transferred, the device can begin reestablishing the connection without waiting, e.g., without waiting for the timeout failure to occur.
