CELL SELECTION/RESELECTION TO BRING USER EQUIPMENT BACK TO HOME NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18091854 titled 'CELL SELECTION/RESELECTION TO BRING USER EQUIPMENT BACK TO HOME NETWORK

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for enabling cell reselection from a visiting PLMN to a home PLMN when a UE is camped to a visiting cell with an Equivalent HPLMN identity.

  • Leveraging frequency selection priority for cell reselection from one radio frequency broadcasting the Equivalent HPLMN identity to another preferred radio frequency broadcasting only the visiting PLMN identity.
  • Subsequent cell reselection from the visiting PLMN identity to the home PLMN identity by using high priority home PLMN identity search.
  • Allowing the UE to quickly return to the home PLMN when entering home coverage, avoiding the need for the UE to move out of the coverage of the Equivalent HPLMN identity from the border cells of the visiting PLMN.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in mobile communication networks to improve seamless transitions between different PLMNs for mobile devices.

Problems Solved: 1. Facilitating efficient cell reselection from a visiting PLMN to a home PLMN. 2. Enhancing the user experience by enabling quick return to the home PLMN when entering home coverage.

Benefits: 1. Improved network efficiency. 2. Enhanced user experience. 3. Seamless transitions between different PLMNs.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by mobile network operators to enhance the performance and user satisfaction of their networks, potentially leading to increased customer retention and loyalty.

Prior Art: Prior research in the field of mobile communication networks may provide insights into similar methods or technologies for cell reselection between PLMNs.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the field of mobile communication networks may be conducting studies on optimizing cell reselection algorithms for improved network performance.

Questions about Cell Reselection Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the overall efficiency of mobile communication networks? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method in real-world network environments?


Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments of apparatus, systems and/or methods are described for providing cell reselection from a visiting PLMN to home PLMN in scenarios where the UE is camped to a visiting cell with an Equivalent HPLMN identity. The method may include cell reselection from one radio frequency broadcasting the Equivalent HPLMN identity to another preferred radio frequency that broadcasts only the visiting PLMN identity by leveraging frequency selection priority, and subsequent cell reselection from the visiting PLMN identity with the visiting PLMN cell to the home PLMN identity with the home PLMN cell by using high priority home PLMN identity search. The method provides a means to allow the UE to quickly come back to home PLMN when entering home coverage, otherwise the UE would have to move out of the coverage of the Equivalent HPLMN identity from the border cells of the visiting PLMN by radio refrequency rescan and selection.
