COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18616782 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
The method described in the abstract involves receiving information from a first node in a first network, which includes details about a second network such as PLMN information, core network connection type, backhaul type of the first node, and service type provided by the core network of the second network. Based on this information, a decision is made on whether to access the second network via the first node, where the first network is a short-range communication network and the second network is a cellular network or a macro coverage network.
- The method involves receiving detailed information about a second network from a first node in a first network.
