Candidate Cell Configuration - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18478098 titled 'Candidate Cell Configuration

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a wireless device receiving a radio resource control message with handover and retain/release indicators, allowing for efficient handover to a target cell and management of candidate cells for future handovers.

  • The wireless device receives a radio resource control message with handover and retain/release indicators.
  • The handover indicator specifies the target cell for a lower layer-based handover.
  • After handover to the target cell, the wireless device retains or releases stored candidate cells based on the retain/release indicator.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile communication systems to improve handover processes and optimize network performance.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient handover management for wireless devices. 2. Optimization of network resources for better performance.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless device may receive a radio resource control (RRC) message that may include a handover indicator and a retain or release indicator. The handover indicator may indicate the target cell for a lower layer-based (e.g., L1/L2-based) handover of the wireless device. After the handover to the target cell, the wireless device may retain or remove/release stored candidate cells for future handovers based on the retain or release indicator.
