TIMING ADVANCE ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT, AND REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296889 titled 'TIMING ADVANCE ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT, AND REPORTING
The abstract of the patent application describes a user equipment apparatus (UE) that can establish a connection with a network node, receive configuration information related to timing advance, and implement a configuration based on this information.
- The UE connects with a first network node via a serving cell that supports distributed unit functionality or a layer 2 protocol of a radio access network (RAN).
- It receives a radio resource control (RRC) message from a second network node supporting central unit control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol of the RAN, containing configuration information for candidate target cells.
- The UE implements a configuration based on the received configuration information to prepare for connecting with the candidate target cells.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in mobile communication networks to optimize cell selection and handover procedures. - It can improve network efficiency and enhance user experience by ensuring seamless connectivity.
Problems Solved: - Addressing issues related to cell selection and handover optimization in mobile networks. - Enhancing network performance and user satisfaction by efficiently managing connections.
Benefits: - Improved network reliability and performance. - Enhanced user experience with seamless connectivity. - Optimized handover procedures for better network efficiency.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Cell Selection and Handover Optimization Technology for Mobile Networks This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to improve the performance and reliability of their mobile networks. It can lead to better user satisfaction and increased efficiency in network operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the handover process in mobile networks? - This technology enhances the handover process by providing configuration information for candidate target cells, allowing the UE to prepare for seamless transitions. 2. What are the key benefits of using this technology in mobile communication networks? - The benefits include improved network reliability, enhanced user experience, and optimized handover procedures for better network efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment apparatus (UE) includes processor(s) and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the UE to: establish a connection with a first network node via a serving cell, where the first network node supports the serving cell and supports at least one of distributed unit functionality or a layer 2 protocol of a radio access network (RAN); receive, from a second network node supporting at least one of central unit control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol of the RAN, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information relating to timing advance, where the configuration information prepares the UE for at least one candidate target cell with which the UE may connect, where the RRC message is received prior to the UE connecting with any of the at least one candidate target cell; and implement a configuration based on the configuration information.
