UE Capability Indication for Multi-Connectivity Handover - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298222 titled 'UE Capability Indication for Multi-Connectivity Handover

The patent application discusses techniques for configuring a User Equipment (UE) for a multi-connectivity handover between a Source Base Station (SBS) and a Target Base Station (TBS).

  • Encoding UE capability information to indicate support for multi-connectivity handover.
  • Encoding a measurement report triggered by the SBS based on configured measurement events.
  • Receiving RRC signaling from the SBS containing a handover command for the multi-connectivity handover to the TBS.
  • Encoding first UL data for transmission to the SBS and second UL data for transmission to the TBS during the handover.

Potential Applications: - Mobile telecommunications networks - Wireless communication systems - Handover optimization in cellular networks

Problems Solved: - Efficient handover between base stations - Seamless connectivity for UEs during handover

Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted connectivity - Optimal resource utilization in multi-connectivity scenarios

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Handover Configuration for Mobile Networks" This technology can be applied in 5G networks, IoT devices, and mobile broadband services to optimize handover processes and enhance overall network efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the handover process for UEs in mobile networks? 2. What are the key benefits of supporting multi-connectivity handover in wireless communication systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

techniques to configure a ue for a multi-connectivity handover with a source base station (sbs) and a target base station (tbs) include encoding ue capability information for transmission to the sbs, the ue capability information indicating the ue supports multi-connectivity handover. a measurement report is encoded for transmission to the sbs, the measurement report triggered based on a measurement event configured by the sbs. rrc signaling is received from the sbs and includes a handover command for a multi-connectivity handover from the sbs to the tbs. the handover command is in response to the measurement report and the ue capability information. first ul data and second ul data are encoded for transmission during the multi-connectivity handover. the first ul data is encoded for transmission to the sbs and the second ul data is encoded for transmission to the tbs during the multi-connectivity handover.
