COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18428250 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
The abstract describes a communication method and apparatus where a first access network device receives a request message from a second access network device and sends information to a positioning management network element indicating changes in an area or updates to a sounding reference signal configuration.
- The method involves a first access network device receiving a request message from a second access network device.
- The first access network device then sends information to a positioning management network element.
- The information provided indicates changes in an area, updates to a sounding reference signal configuration, or updates to an area.
- An area is defined as a region where the sounding reference signal configuration for a terminal is valid, which includes at least one cell.
- The information may include details such as area changes, moving out of an area, cell changes, moving out of a cell, area identity, or cell identity.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in mobile communication networks to improve location tracking and signal configuration for terminals. - It can enhance network management and optimization by providing real-time updates on area changes and signal configurations.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for efficient communication between access network devices and positioning management elements. - Improving the accuracy and reliability of location tracking and signal configuration in mobile networks.
Benefits: - Enhanced network performance and reliability. - Improved location tracking for mobile devices. - Streamlined communication between network elements.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Location Tracking and Signal Configuration Technology for Mobile Networks This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of location tracking and signal configuration in mobile networks. It can improve network management and optimization, leading to better overall performance and customer satisfaction.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve location tracking in mobile networks? 2. What are the key benefits of using this communication method and apparatus in network management?
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication method and apparatus. The method includes: a first access network device receives a retrieve UE context request message from a second access network device and sends first information to a positioning management network element. The first information indicates at least one of the following: an area change, update of a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration, or update of an area. The area is an area in which the SRS configuration configured by the first access network device for a terminal is valid. One area includes at least one cell. That the first information indicates the area change is that the first information includes at least one of the following: the area change, moving out of the area, a cell change, moving out of a cell, an area identity, or a cell identity.
