SIGNALING TO INDICATE INTENDED SLICE INFORMATION IN PAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18257246 titled 'SIGNALING TO INDICATE INTENDED SLICE INFORMATION IN PAGING
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication and specifically to a method for initiating a random access channel (RACH) procedure based on an intended slice for a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with downlink traffic for a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode.
- User equipment (UE) receives a paging message in RRC idle mode or RRC inactive mode.
- The paging message includes an indication identifying an intended slice for a PDU session associated with downlink traffic for the UE.
- The UE transmits a request to initiate a random access channel (RACH) procedure to a base station.
- The request is based on the intended slice identified in the paging message.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved wireless communication in RRC idle mode or RRC inactive mode.
- Efficient utilization of network resources.
- Enhanced user experience with faster response times.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently initiating a random access channel (RACH) procedure in RRC idle mode or RRC inactive mode.
- Ensuring the correct intended slice is used for the PDU session associated with downlink traffic.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster response times for initiating RACH procedure.
- Improved network resource utilization.
- Enhanced user experience with seamless connectivity.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode, a paging message that includes an indication identifying an intended slice for a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with downlink traffic for the UE. The UE may transmit, to a base station, a request to initiate a random access channel (RACH) procedure based at least in part on the intended slice. Numerous other aspects are described.
