TIMING ADVANCE ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT, AND REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340981 titled 'TIMING ADVANCE ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT, AND REPORTING
The abstract of the patent application describes a user equipment apparatus (UE) that can establish a connection with a first network node via a serving cell, receive configuration information from a second network node, and implement a configuration based on the received information.
- The UE connects with a first network node supporting distributed unit functionality or a layer 2 protocol of a radio access network (RAN).
- Configuration information related to timing advance is received from a second network node supporting central unit control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol of the RAN.
- The UE prepares for connection with candidate target cells based on the received configuration information.
- The UE implements a configuration based on the received information to optimize its connection with target cells.
Potential Applications: - Mobile telecommunications networks - Radio access network optimization - Wireless communication systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient connection establishment in mobile networks - Optimization of radio resource control in RANs
Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced user experience in mobile communication - Efficient utilization of radio resources
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Radio Resource Control for Mobile Networks" This technology can be used by telecommunications companies to enhance the performance and efficiency of their mobile networks, leading to better service quality for customers and potentially reducing operational costs.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the UE determine which candidate target cells to connect with based on the received configuration information? - The UE uses the timing advance information to evaluate the suitability of candidate target cells for connection. 2. What are the key differences between the functionality supported by the first network node and the second network node in the context of the patent application? - The first network node supports the serving cell and distributed unit functionality or a layer 2 protocol, while the second network node supports central unit control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol.
Original Abstract Submitted
a user equipment apparatus (ue) includes processor(s) and memory storing instructions. the instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the ue to: establish a connection with a first network node via a serving cell, where the first network node supports the serving cell and supports at least one of distributed unit functionality or a layer 2 protocol of a radio access network (ran); receive, from a second network node supporting at least one of central unit control plane functionality or a layer 3 protocol of the ran, a radio resource control (rrc) message including configuration information relating to timing advance, where the configuration information prepares the ue for at least one candidate target cell with which the ue may connect, where the rrc message is received prior to the ue connecting with any of the at least one candidate target cell; and implement a configuration based on the configuration information.
