SECURITY HANDLING FOR UE COOPERATION FEATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18069132 titled 'SECURITY HANDLING FOR UE COOPERATION FEATURE
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application allows a target User Equipment (UE) to use a cooperative device to communicate with a base station when the UE is out of coverage or has poor radio connections but can still connect to another UE over a non-3GPP technology.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Target UE can utilize a cooperative device for communication in poor coverage situations. - Derived Radio Resource Control (RRC) key is received from the UE in a non-3GPP link. - Control data can be received from a network entity in a 3GPP link using the derived RRC key. - Control data can be transmitted to the UE in the non-3GPP link.
- Potential Applications:**
- Improving communication reliability in areas with poor coverage. - Enhancing connectivity for UEs in challenging radio conditions. - Facilitating seamless communication transitions between different technologies.
- Problems Solved:**
- Addressing communication challenges in areas with poor coverage. - Ensuring connectivity for UEs in difficult radio environments. - Enhancing overall communication reliability and efficiency.
- Benefits:**
- Improved communication reliability in challenging conditions. - Seamless connectivity transitions between different technologies. - Enhanced user experience with better network coverage.
- Commercial Applications:**
Potential commercial applications include telecommunications infrastructure, IoT devices, and mobile network providers looking to improve connectivity for their users.
- Questions about the Technology:**
1. How does this technology improve communication reliability in areas with poor coverage? 2. What are the key benefits of using a cooperative device for communication in challenging radio environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
Thus, aspects of the present disclosure allow for a target UE to utilize a cooperative device to communicate with a base station when the target UE is out of coverage or in poor radio connections, but can still connect to another UE over a non-3GPP technology. Aspects of the present disclosure may receive a derived radio resource control (RRC) key from a user equipment (UE) in a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) link between the apparatus and the UE. In some aspects, the UE is out of coverage of a network entity in a 3GPP link with the apparatus. In another instance, aspects of the present disclosure may receive control data from the network entity in the 3GPP link using the derived RRC key. In yet another instance, aspects of the present disclosure may transmit the control data to the UE in the non-3GPP link.
