Determining an Activation Order in Multiple Secondary Cell (SCell) Activation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033141 titled 'Determining an Activation Order in Multiple Secondary Cell (SCell) Activation
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for determining the order of activation for multiple secondary cells (SCells) in a user equipment (UE) when receiving a command to activate them. Here are the key points:
- When activating both known and unknown SCells, the UE will activate the known SCells first before activating the unknown ones.
- If all the SCells in a given band are unknown, the UE will assume the rest of the SCells in the same band are also unknown and activate them accordingly.
- The activation of unknown SCells will follow the same delay limits as known SCell activation.
- If the SCells to be activated are in different bands, the UE will prioritize activating the SCells in the band with the largest number of unknown SCells.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile communication networks
- Wireless devices and equipment
- Cellular network optimization
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient activation of multiple SCells in a UE
- Prioritization of known and unknown SCells for activation
- Optimization of SCell activation process
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and efficiency of SCell activation
- Enhanced network connectivity and reliability
- Streamlined operation of UEs with multiple SCells
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for determining an activation order in multiple secondary cell (SCell) activation. For example, an order of SCell activation may be determined when a user equipment (UE) receives a command activating multiple SCells. When the to-be-activated SCells include both known SCells and unknown SCells, the UE may activate the known SCell (s) first followed by activating the unknown SCells. If the to-be-activated SCells in a given band are all unknown SCells, the UE may operate such that the rest of the unknown SCell (s) in the same band are assumed to be known. The UE may then activate these SCell (s) in the same manner as known SCell activation and according to the same delay limits. If the to-be-activated SCells are in different bands, the UE may first activate the SCells in the band where there is the largest number of unknown SCells.
