ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION ABOUT BASE STATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18421166 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION ABOUT BASE STATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with two communication circuits for wireless communication, processors, and memory storing programs to control the device's operation modes based on the state of the device and signals received from base stations.

  • The electronic device has a first communication circuit for wireless communication and a second communication circuit for a different wireless communication protocol.
  • The device can identify its state and switch operation modes based on the state and signals received from base stations.
  • It can transition from a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode to an RRC connection mode based on measured signals.
  • The device can request connection from a second station during the RRC connection mode.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication circuit for first wireless communication, a second communication circuit for second wireless communication, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to identify a state of the electronic device while an operation mode for the first wireless communication is a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode, when the state of the electronic device corresponds to a specified state, measure at least one signal transmitted from a first base station for the second wireless communication, switch the operation mode from the RRC idle mode to an RRC connection mode after measuring the signal, and cause a second station for the first wireless communication to transmit a signal for requesting connection during a state in which the operation mode is in the RRC connection mode.
