Handling of Parameters Provided in Release / Suspend - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18438003 titled 'Handling of Parameters Provided in Release / Suspend

Simplified Explanation

The patent application introduces a mechanism for handling parameters received when a User Equipment (UE) enters an RRC_INACTIVE or RRC_IDLE state and attempts to resume an RRC connection, receiving a Release or Suspend message in response.

  • When a UE receives an RRC Release or Suspend message, the timer associated with the mobilityControlInfo is stopped, and the received parameters are discarded.
  • Information received in a Release or Suspend message is discarded upon receiving an RRC Release or RRC Suspend.

Key Features and Innovation

- Mechanism for handling parameters when a UE enters RRC_INACTIVE or RRC_IDLE state. - Timer associated with mobilityControlInfo is stopped upon receiving RRC Release or Suspend. - Discarding of received parameters upon receiving RRC Release or Suspend message.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in the field of mobile communication networks to improve the handling of parameters when a UE transitions between different states.

Problems Solved

- Ambiguities in the network's knowledge of UE behavior when transitioning between RRC states. - Efficient handling of parameters when a UE attempts to resume an RRC connection.

Benefits

- Improved network efficiency. - Enhanced UE behavior monitoring. - Streamlined parameter handling during state transitions.

Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include mobile network infrastructure providers, telecommunications companies, and equipment manufacturers looking to enhance the performance of their network systems.

Prior Art

How does the mechanism introduced in the patent application improve network efficiency?

The mechanism stops the timer associated with mobilityControlInfo and discards received parameters, ensuring streamlined parameter handling during UE state transitions, ultimately enhancing network efficiency.

What are the potential implications of this technology for mobile network infrastructure providers?

Mobile network infrastructure providers can benefit from the improved handling of parameters during UE state transitions, leading to enhanced network performance and user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

New Radio (NR) RRC includes an RRC_INACTIVE state, which introduces ambiguities in the network's knowledge of UE behavior. A mechanism is introduced for handling parameters received when a UE enters RRC_INACTIVE or RRC_IDLE upon the UE attempting to resume an RRC connection and, as a response, receiving a Release or Suspend message. The timer associated to the mobilityControlInfo (equivalent to T320) is stopped and associated parameters discarded upon receiving RRC Release or Suspend. Information received in a Release or Suspend message is discarded upon receiving RRC Release or RRC Suspend.
