MECHANISM FOR CELL ACTIVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18264022 titled 'MECHANISM FOR CELL ACTIVATION

Simplified Explanation

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device receives an activation indication from a network device to activate a secondary cell configured with physical uplink control channel or a primary secondary cell. The terminal device then transmits an acknowledgment in response to the activation indication to the network device. While activating the secondary cell and performing a random access procedure to the network device, the terminal device measures one or more reference signals related to the SCell. This process helps to shorten the delay for SCell activation and reduce latency.

  • Shortens delay for SCell activation
  • Reduces latency

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in the following areas:

  • 5G networks
  • Mobile communication systems

Original Abstract Submitted

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, after a terminal device receives an activation indication from a network device to activate a secondary cell configured with physical uplink control channel or a primary secondary cell, the terminal device transmits an acknowledgment in response to the activation indication to the network device. The terminal device measures one or more reference signals related to the SCell while activating the SCell and performing a random access procedure to the network device. In this way, it can shorten delay for SCell activation and reduce latency.
