PHYSICAL CELL IDENTITY COLLISION RESOLUTION FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18557830 titled 'PHYSICAL CELL IDENTITY COLLISION RESOLUTION FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS

The method described in the abstract involves determining whether a measured cell is within the same distributed unit as the serving cell or in a different distributed unit. This determination is based on comparing the physical cell group identifiers of the measured cell and the serving cell. The method then sends a layer measurement report indicating whether the measured cell is intra-distributed unit or inter-distributed unit with respect to the serving cell.

  • Receiving a list of conflicting physical cell identities and a request for an indication of the relationship between the measured cell and the serving cell
  • Determining the physical cell group identifier of the serving cell
  • Determining the physical cell group identifier of the measured cell
  • Comparing the physical cell group identifiers to determine the relationship between the cells
  • Sending a layer measurement report with the result of the comparison

Potential Applications: - Cellular network optimization - Handover decision making in mobile networks - Interference management in distributed network nodes

Problems Solved: - Efficient handover decisions in distributed network environments - Improved network performance and reliability - Enhanced user experience in mobile communication

Benefits: - Enhanced network efficiency - Reduced interference and dropped calls - Improved quality of service for mobile users

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Handover Decision Making in Distributed Network Nodes" This technology could be utilized by telecommunications companies to improve the performance and reliability of their mobile networks. It could also be integrated into network optimization solutions for better overall network management.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve handover decisions in mobile networks? 2. What are the key benefits of determining whether a measured cell is intra-distributed unit or inter-distributed unit with respect to the serving cell?


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes receiving via a serving cell that is associated with a first distributed unit of the network node, a list of conflicting physical cell identities and a request to provide an indication of whether a measured cell is intra-distributed unit or inter-distributed unit with respect to the serving cell; determining a physical cell group identifier of the serving cell; determining, by the user equipment, a physical cell group identifier of the measured cell; comparing the physical cell group identifier of the measured cell to the physical cell group identifier of the serving cell, to determine whether: the measured cell is intra-distributed unit with respect to the serving cell, or the measured cell is inter-distributed unit with respect to the serving cell; and sending a layer measurement report including information indicating whether the measured cell is intra-distributed unit or inter-distributed unit with respect to the serving cell.
