METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR PAGING IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18645772 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR PAGING IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a communication system where a base station configures a paging area for a communication device and updates it when necessary. The base station informs the device of the update and broadcasts system information about the change to the paging area.
- The anchor base station configures a Radio Access Network (RAN) based paging area for a communication device.
- When the base station needs to update the paging area, it notifies the communication device.
- The base station broadcasts system information to inform about changes to the paging area, such as removing a cell.
- The system information can be broadcasted in other cells of the paging area as well.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Configuration of RAN based paging area by the anchor base station.
- Notification to the communication device when updating the paging area is necessary.
- Broadcasting system information to indicate changes in the paging area.
- Ability to broadcast system information in multiple cells of the paging area.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be applied in:
- Cellular networks
- Wireless communication systems
- IoT devices
Problems Solved:
- Efficient management of paging areas in communication systems.
- Timely updates to paging areas for improved communication.
Benefits:
- Enhanced communication device performance.
- Optimal utilization of network resources.
- Improved reliability of communication systems.
Commercial Applications:
Title: Enhanced Communication System for Efficient Paging Area Management
This technology can be utilized in:
- Telecommunication companies
- Network infrastructure providers
- IoT device manufacturers
Prior Art:
Readers can explore prior art related to communication systems, RAN configurations, and paging area management in the field of wireless communication technologies.
Frequently Updated Research:
Stay updated on research related to RAN optimization, network efficiency, and communication system enhancements for the latest advancements in the field.
Questions about Communication System with RAN Based Paging Area Management: 1. How does the base station determine when to update the paging area for a communication device? 2. What are the potential implications of broadcasting system information about changes to the paging area in multiple cells?
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication system is disclosed in which an anchor base station configures a RAN based paging area for a communication device. When the anchor base station determines that it is necessary to update the RAN based paging area, it seeks to inform the communication device indicating that the RAN paging area for the communication device needs to be updated at the communication device, and subsequently, the base station may broadcast system information comprising information identifying a change to the paging area (e.g. a removal of a cell). The broadcasting of system information may also be carried out in other cells of the paging area.
