INTER-RAT MEASUREMENT GAP CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17755135 titled 'INTER-RAT MEASUREMENT GAP CONFIGURATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes enhanced inter-RAT (Radio Access Technology) and measurement gap operations. These operations involve monitoring control signals of one network while connected to another network for inter-RAT procedures.
- The device can generate a customized measurement gap to monitor control signals of another network during inter-RAT procedures.
- The device can modify the network measurement gap by extending or shifting it to align with a measurement window of another network.
- This modification allows the device to monitor control signals of both networks simultaneously during inter-RAT procedures.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in multi-network environments where devices need to monitor control signals from multiple networks simultaneously.
- It can be used in scenarios where seamless handover between different networks is required, such as in heterogeneous networks or during inter-RAT procedures.
Problems Solved
- This technology solves the problem of monitoring control signals from multiple networks during inter-RAT procedures.
- It addresses the challenge of aligning measurement gaps of different networks to ensure efficient monitoring and handover between networks.
Benefits
- The enhanced inter-RAT and measurement gap operations allow for improved network monitoring and seamless handover between networks.
- It enables devices to efficiently monitor control signals from multiple networks, enhancing the overall network performance and user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
Enhanced inter-RAT and measurement gap operations are disclosed. In one aspect, a device may generate a customized measurement gap for monitoring control signals of another network for inter-RAT procedures. In another aspect, a device may modify, such as extend or shift, a network measurement gap to generate a modified measurement gap for monitoring control signals of another network for inter-RAT procedures. The device may modify the network measurement gap to align the network's measurement gap, such as LTE measurement gap, with a measurement window of another network, such as an SMTC window of a 5G network. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
