==COMMUNICATIONS USING MULTIPLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES (RAT) FOR A MULTI-MODE USER EQUIPMENT (UE) - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240138008 titled 'COMMUNICATIONS USING MULTIPLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES (RAT) FOR A MULTI-MODE USER EQUIPMENT (UE)

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application relates to apparatuses and methods for enabling communication between a user equipment (UE) and different base stations using different radio access technologies (RATs).

* The UE receives configuration information from a first base station using the first RAT to communicate with a second base station via a second RAT.
* The UE also receives a downlink message from the first base station with configuration information for the UE to establish a communication link with the second base station via the second RAT.
* The UE establishes the communication link with the second base station based on the configuration information obtained from both base stations.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in multi-RAT communication systems to enable seamless handover between different types of networks.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently transitioning between different radio access technologies while maintaining a continuous communication link.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved connectivity, reduced latency, and enhanced user experience when switching between different types of networks.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
One potential commercial application of this technology is in mobile devices and telecommunications infrastructure to optimize network connectivity and performance.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be related to existing methods for handover between different radio access technologies in wireless communication systems.

== Unanswered Questions ==
1. How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices during handover between different RATs?
2. What are the specific technical challenges in implementing seamless communication between different base stations using different RATs?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for communicating in a first radio access technology (rat) and a second rat. a user equipment (ue) can receive, from a first base station using the first rat, first configuration information for the ue to communicate with a second base station via the second rat; and receive, from the first base station using the first rat, a downlink message to enable a communication link between the ue and the second base station via the second rat. the downlink message includes second configuration information for the ue to communicate with the second base station via the second rat. the ue can establish the communication link between the ue and the second base station using the second rat based on a link configuration obtained from the first configuration information and the second configuration information.
