PRIORITIZED RETURN TO RAT NR FROM RAT GSM / RAT UMTS THROUGH RAT RESELECTION BASED APPROACH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107405 titled 'PRIORITIZED RETURN TO RAT NR FROM RAT GSM / RAT UMTS THROUGH RAT RESELECTION BASED APPROACH

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system, method, and computer program product for implementing prioritized return of a UE to NR RAT from a GSM/UMTS RAT through RAT reselection based approach.

  • The embodiment determines if the UE is camped on a first RAT and stores a list of frequencies and cell reselection parameter values for the first RAT.
  • It then checks if the UE is camped on a second RAT and if certain trigger conditions are met, performs measurements on frequencies from the stored list.
  • Based on these measurements and cell reselection parameter values, the embodiment performs cell reselection to a cell of the first RAT.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile networks to improve the efficiency of RAT reselection and prioritize the return of a UE to a specific RAT.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient return of a UE to NR RAT from a GSM/UMTS RAT. 2. Prioritizing RAT reselection based on specific trigger conditions.

Benefits

1. Enhanced network performance. 2. Improved user experience with faster RAT reselection. 3. Optimal resource utilization in mobile networks.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing RAT Reselection for Mobile Networks" could be used in telecommunications companies to optimize network performance and enhance user experience.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to RAT reselection algorithms or methods used in mobile networks to improve handover procedures and network efficiency.

What are the technical details of the RAT reselection algorithm described in the patent application?

The technical details of the RAT reselection algorithm include: - Determining if the UE is camped on a first RAT and storing relevant parameters. - Checking for trigger conditions on a second RAT and performing measurements on specified frequencies. - Performing cell reselection based on measurements and stored parameters.

How does this technology compare to existing RAT reselection methods in terms of efficiency and speed of reselection?

This technology aims to improve the efficiency and speed of RAT reselection by prioritizing the return of a UE to a specific RAT based on trigger conditions and stored parameters. By optimizing the reselection process, it can potentially outperform existing methods in terms of network performance and user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for implementing prioritized return of a ue to nr rat from a gsm/umts rat through rat reselection based approach. an embodiment operates by determining whether the ue is camped on a first radio access technology (rat), and in response to a determination that the ue is camped on the first rat, stores a list of frequencies and a plurality of cell reselection parameter values corresponding to the first rat. the embodiment determines whether the ue is camped on a second rat and whether one of a plurality of trigger conditions is satisfied, and in response to a determination that the ue is camped on the second rat and that one of the plurality of trigger conditions is satisfied, performs measurements on one or more frequencies of the list of frequencies. the embodiment performs cell reselection to a cell of the first rat based at least in part on the measurements and the plurality of cell reselection parameter values.
