USER EQUIPMENT (UE) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18284711 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT (UE)

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a communication unit and method for controlling the timing at which a User Equipment (UE) transitions from a connected mode to an idle mode for Steering of Roaming (SOR) in a 5G system.

  • The communication unit implements a function related to Enhancement for the 5G Control Plane Steering of Roaming for UE in CONNECTED mode (eCPSOR_CON).
  • The method involves a network notifying a UE of information used for controlling the timing of the transition from connected mode to idle mode for SOR.
  • The innovation provides a way to control the timing of the UE transitioning from connected mode to idle mode.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G network infrastructure
  • Mobile communication systems

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following issues:

  • Efficient control of UE transitions between connected and idle modes
  • Enhancing the control plane steering of roaming for UE in a 5G network

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved network efficiency
  • Enhanced user experience with seamless transitions
  • Optimal control of timing for UE state transitions

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application for this technology could be in:

  • Telecommunications equipment manufacturing
  • Mobile network service providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be related to methods and systems for controlling UE state transitions in previous generations of mobile networks.
