HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION POINTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537383 titled 'HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION POINTS

The abstract describes a method for handover of a terminal, involving searching for neighbor TRPs, transmitting neighbor TRP information, receiving a command for TRP switching, and accessing the target TRP based on the command.

  • The method involves searching for neighbor TRPs, including a target TRP.
  • Information on searched neighbor TRPs is transmitted to the current serving TRP.
  • A command for TRP switching is received from a DU connected to the terminal.
  • The serving TRP of the terminal is switched from the current serving TRP to the target TRP based on the received command.
  • The TRP switching is determined based on the neighbor TRP information report message.

Potential Applications: - This method can be applied in wireless communication systems for efficient handover of terminals between different TRPs. - It can be used in cellular networks to improve network performance and connectivity for mobile devices.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of seamless handover between TRPs in wireless communication systems. - Improves the efficiency and reliability of terminal handover processes in cellular networks.

Benefits: - Enhances the overall performance and connectivity of wireless communication systems. - Ensures smooth and uninterrupted handover of terminals between different TRPs. - Optimizes network resources and improves user experience in cellular networks.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Terminal Handover Method for Wireless Communication Systems" This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to enhance the efficiency of their network operations and improve the quality of service for their customers. It can also be integrated into mobile devices to ensure seamless connectivity and better user experience.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the handover process in wireless communication systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using this TRP switching method in cellular networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

A handover method of a terminal may comprise: performing a procedure to search for neighbor TRPs including a target TRP; transmitting a neighbor TRP information report message including information on searched neighbor TRPs to a current serving TRP; receiving, from a DU to which the terminal is connected and through the current serving TRP, a command indicating TRP switching for switching a serving TRP of the terminal from the current serving TRP to the target TRP; and performing an access procedure to the target TRP according to the command indicating the TRP switching, wherein the TRP switching is determined based on the neighbor TRP information report message.
