==USER EQUIPMENT CONTEXT RETRIEVAL IN RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL INACTIVE STATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18321409 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT CONTEXT RETRIEVAL IN RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL INACTIVE STATE

==Simplified Explanation==

Techniques are provided for enabling user equipment (UE) context retrieval in radio resource control (RRC) inactive status with a shared radio access network (RAN) database (DB) within a distributed database architecture.

* A version indicator in an inactive Radio Network Temporary Identifier (I-RNTI) is populated by the UE to indicate one or more I-RNTI versions.
* The version indicator in the I-RNTI is used to communicate the location of a RAN DB that stores the UE context to a target network node.
* The target network node uses the data in the I-RNTI, dependent on the I-RNTI version, to retrieve the UE content from the RAN database.
* Certain embodiments utilize a RAN DB Area (RDBA) and/or RAN DB Set Area (RDSA) for efficient retrieval of UE context.
* Certain embodiments utilize a network node set ID to further enhance the retrieval process.

== Potential Applications ==
* This technology can be applied in cellular networks to enable efficient retrieval of user equipment context in radio resource control inactive status.
* It can be used in scenarios where a shared radio access network database is employed within a distributed database architecture.

== Problems Solved ==
* Retrieving user equipment context in radio resource control inactive status can be challenging in distributed database architectures.
* The location of the database storing the user equipment context needs to be communicated accurately to the target network node.

== Benefits ==
* Enables efficient retrieval of user equipment context in radio resource control inactive status.
* Simplifies the communication of the database location to the target network node.
* Improves the overall performance and reliability of cellular networks.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Techniques are provided for enabling user equipment (UE) context retrieval in radio resource control RRC inactive status with a shared radio access network (RAN) database (DB) within a distributed database architecture. A version indicator in an inactive Radio Network Temporary Identifier (I-RNTI) is populated by the UE to indicate one or more I-RNTI versions, defined herein, and indicates the type of data in the remainder of the I-RNTI used for communicating the location of a RAN DB that stores the UE context, to a target network node. The target network node then uses the data in the I-RNTI, further dependent on the I-RNTI version, to retrieve the UE content from the RAN database. Certain embodiments utilize a RAN DB Area (RDBA) and/or RAN DB Set Area (RDSA), and certain embodiments utilize a network node set ID.
