METHODS FOR RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) NODE IDENTITY DISAMBIGUATION FROM INACTIVE RADIO NETWORK TEMPORARY IDENTIFIER (I-RNTI) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271577 titled 'METHODS FOR RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) NODE IDENTITY DISAMBIGUATION FROM INACTIVE RADIO NETWORK TEMPORARY IDENTIFIER (I-RNTI)

The method described in the abstract involves a first network node determining Local node Identifiers and transmitting them to a neighboring second network node. These Local node Identifiers include an Inactive-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (I-RNTI) profile associated with a full I-RNTI and/or an I-RNTI profile associated with a short I-RNTI. The method also includes transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) release message with suspend configuration to transition user equipment to RRC Inactive, including a Local node Identifier for the first network node and a UE context identifier.

  • Local node Identifiers determined and transmitted between network nodes
  • Inactive-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (I-RNTI) profiles associated with full and short I-RNTIs
  • Radio resource control (RRC) release message with suspend configuration for transitioning user equipment to RRC Inactive
  • Inclusion of Local node Identifier and UE context identifier in the RRC release message

Potential Applications: - Enhanced network node communication and coordination - Efficient management of user equipment transitions - Optimization of radio resource control procedures

Problems Solved: - Streamlining network node operations - Facilitating smooth transitions for user equipment - Enhancing overall network performance

Benefits: - Improved network efficiency - Enhanced user equipment management - Streamlined communication between network nodes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Network Node Communication for Efficient User Equipment Management" This technology could find applications in telecommunications companies, network infrastructure providers, and equipment manufacturers looking to optimize network operations and enhance user experience.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of Local node Identifiers improve network communication efficiency? 2. What are the advantages of transitioning user equipment to RRC Inactive using the described method?


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a first network node includes determining one or more Local node Identifiers. The method includes transmitting the one or more Local node Identifiers to a second network node neighboring the first network node, each of the one or more Local node Identifiers including: an Inactive-Radio Network Temporary Identifier, I-RNTI, profile valid for the first network node and associated with a full I-RNTI; and/or an I-RNTI profile valid for the first network node and associated with a short I-RNTI. The method includes transmitting a radio resource control, RRC, release message with suspend configuration to a user equipment, to transition the user equipment to RRC Inactive, the RRC release message including a Local node Identifier for the first network node and a UE context identifier.
