==RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODE, RADIO TERMINAL, AND METHODS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137942 titled 'RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODE, RADIO TERMINAL, AND METHODS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA THEREFOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method where a radio resource configuration of a second radio access technology (RAT) is sent to a radio terminal via a first RAT node. The configuration includes at least one numerology different from a reference numerology, allowing for flexibility in configuring the radio terminal.

* The method involves sending radio resource configurations between different RATs.
* The configurations include numerologies different from a reference numerology.
* This allows for configuring radio terminals with numerologies specific to different RATs, enabling inter-RAT dual connectivity and handover scenarios.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in:
* Inter-RAT dual connectivity scenarios
* Handover from one RAT to another

== Problems Solved ==
* Flexibility in configuring radio terminals with different numerologies
* Seamless handover and connectivity between different RATs

== Benefits ==
* Improved connectivity options for radio terminals
* Enhanced network flexibility and efficiency

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
This technology can be utilized in:
* 5G networks
* IoT devices requiring seamless connectivity between different RATs

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be methods for configuring radio resources in single RAT scenarios, but the explicit inclusion of numerologies different from a reference numerology for inter-RAT scenarios may be a novel aspect of this technology.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology impact network efficiency in scenarios with multiple numerologies? ===
This technology can potentially optimize network resources by allowing for efficient utilization of different numerologies across various RATs, but the specific impact on network efficiency metrics like throughput and latency needs further exploration.

=== What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology across different generations of cellular networks? ===
The compatibility and interoperability of different numerologies and configurations across 4G and 5G networks, for example, could pose challenges in the seamless operation of this technology. Further research and testing are required to address these potential challenges.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a second ran node () associated with a second rat sends a radio resource configuration of the second rat to a radio terminal () via a first ran node () associated with a first rat. the radio resource configuration explicitly or implicitly indicates at least one numerology that is included in multiple numerologies supported by the second rat and is different from a reference numerology. it is thus, for example, possible to allow a radio terminal to be configured with a numerology of a cell served by a secondary gnb or a target gnb in inter-rat dual connectivity between e-utra and nr and in a handover from e-utra to nr.
