Secondary Cell Activation and Change Procedures - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18669258 titled 'Secondary Cell Activation and Change Procedures

The abstract discusses apparatuses, systems, and methods for adding a secondary cell group (SCG) in wireless communication networks.

• Wireless devices can communicate with a first base station in a master cell group (MCG) and receive signaling to configure a second base station in a secondary cell group (SCG).
• The wireless device can establish communication with the second base station based on the signaling received from the first base station.
• Initially, the wireless device may deactivate the second base station based on the signaling received, and later activate it to communicate with both the first and second base stations.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in enhancing the efficiency and capacity of wireless communication networks. - It can improve network coverage and reliability in areas with high user density or signal interference.

Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for seamless handover and efficient utilization of resources in wireless networks. - Enhancing network performance and user experience by optimizing cell configurations.

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for secondary cell group (SCG) addition. A wireless device may establish communication with a first base station that is comprised in a master cell group (MCG). The wireless device may receive signaling from the first base station configuring a second base station in a secondary cell group (SCG). The wireless device may establish communication with the second base station based on the signaling received from the first base station. At a first time, the wireless device may set the second base station in a deactivated state based on the signaling from the first base station configuring the second base station or establishing communication with the second base station. At a later time, the wireless device may set the second base station in an activated state and communicate with the first base station and the second base station.
