CONNECTION RESTRICTION FOR MOVING STATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18562106 titled 'CONNECTION RESTRICTION FOR MOVING STATION
The patent application describes a communication control apparatus for a moving station that can communicate with a communication device.
- The apparatus includes a processor that identifies a moving communication device that moves with the station and restricts its connection with a communication cell as the station passes.
- The moving station has a communication-device functional unit that acts as a communication device to the base station, and a base-station functional unit that acts as a base station to a communication device it can communicate with.
- The moving station is an IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) node, with the communication-device functional unit as a MT (Mobile Termination) and the base-station functional unit as a DU (Distributed Unit).
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in mobile communication systems to manage connections between moving stations and communication devices.
- It can be applied in transportation systems to ensure seamless communication between vehicles and base stations.
Problems Solved:
- The technology addresses the challenge of maintaining stable connections between moving stations and communication devices as they pass through different communication cells.
- It helps prevent disruptions in communication due to handovers between cells.
Benefits:
- Improved reliability and stability of communication for moving stations.
- Enhanced efficiency in managing connections between mobile devices and base stations.
Commercial Applications:
- This technology can be valuable in the development of smart transportation systems, IoT networks, and mobile communication infrastructure.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus identify and restrict the connection of moving communication devices? 2. What are the specific functions of the communication-device functional unit and the base-station functional unit in the moving station?
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication control apparatus concerning a moving station capable of communicating with a communication device has at least one processor that performs: by a moving communication device identification unit, identifying a moving communication device that moves with the moving station; and by a connection restriction unit, restricting a connection of the moving communication device with a communication cell where the moving station passes. The moving station comprises a communication-device functional unit that functions as a communication device to the base station, and a base-station functional unit that functions as a base station to a communication device with which the moving station can communicate. The moving station is an IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) node, the communication-device functional unit is a MT (Mobile Termination), and the base-station functional unit is a DU (Distributed Unit).
