METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONNECTION BETWEEN TERMINAL AND BASE STATION IN MULTI-HOP NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522907 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONNECTION BETWEEN TERMINAL AND BASE STATION IN MULTI-HOP NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for connecting a terminal and a base station in a multi-hop network. The method involves receiving cell selection and reselection criteria information from a base station, determining candidate base stations, selecting a connection scheme, choosing a target base station, and connecting to the target base station.

  • Receiving cell selection and reselection criteria information from a base station
  • Determining candidate base stations capable of communicating with the terminal
  • Selecting a connection scheme based on a tolerable gap parameter
  • Choosing a target base station from the candidate base stations
  • Connecting to the target base station

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for connecting a terminal and a base station in a multi-hop network. A method of a terminal may comprise: receiving cell selection and reselection criteria information broadcast from a base station; determining candidate base stations among all base stations capable of communicating with the terminal based on the cell selection and reselection criteria information; selecting one connection scheme from a lightening backhaul load (LBL) scheme or a maximum reference signal received power (RSRP) scheme based on a tolerable gap, which is a parameter for determining the candidate base station; selecting one candidate base station from among the candidate base stations as a target base station based on the one connection scheme; and connecting to the target base station.
