UNIFIED ACCESS CONTROL (UAC) ENHANCEMENT FOR SIDELINK RELAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17766546 titled 'UNIFIED ACCESS CONTROL (UAC) ENHANCEMENT FOR SIDELINK RELAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application discloses a user equipment (UE) configured as a relay UE between a remote UE and a base station. The UE is able to receive RRC signaling from the remote UE, determine whether to perform an access control check before forwarding the signaling to the base station, and then forward the signaling based on the determination.

• User equipment acts as a relay between remote UE and base station
• Receives RRC signaling from remote UE
• Determines whether to perform access control check before forwarding signaling to base station
• Forwards signaling based on the determination

Potential Applications

• Improved relay communication in wireless networks
• Enhanced network efficiency and reliability

Problems Solved

• Efficient relay of signaling between remote UE and base station
• Optimal use of resources in wireless networks

Benefits

• Increased network performance
• Enhanced communication reliability
• Improved resource management

Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) configured as a relay UE between a remote UE and a base station is disclosed. The UE comprises one or more processors configured to receive a RRC signaling to request for establishing or resuming RRC connection from the remote UE, determine whether to perform an access control check prior to forwarding the RRC Signaling of the remote UE to the base station, and forward the RRC Signaling to the base station based on the determination.
