NON-STANDALONE 5G SHARED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323768 titled 'NON-STANDALONE 5G SHARED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK MANAGEMENT

The abstract of this patent application relates to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices.

  • 5G-capable wireless devices determine if an NSA 5G cell of another MNO meets performance criteria before measuring and sending data for an NSA 4G LTE anchor cell associated with the NSA 5G cell.
  • Refraining from sending data under certain conditions keeps the device connected to the legacy 4G LTE cell of the MNO instead of switching to another MNO's cell.
  • The device maintains a database of valid NSA 4G LTE cells for potential reselection/handover.

Potential Applications: - Enhanced network performance for 5G-capable devices - Efficient utilization of 5G resources - Improved connectivity management for wireless networks

Problems Solved: - Optimizing network selection for 5G-capable devices - Preventing unnecessary handovers between cells - Enhancing user experience with seamless connectivity

Benefits: - Better network performance - Reduced handover interruptions - Enhanced user experience

Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Network Selection for 5G-Capable Devices" This technology can be utilized by mobile network operators to improve network efficiency and user experience for 5G-capable devices. It can also benefit device manufacturers looking to enhance connectivity features in their products.

Prior Art: Research related to network selection algorithms and handover optimization in wireless communication systems could provide insights into similar technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in network optimization algorithms and 5G connectivity management to enhance the performance of this technology.

Questions about Network Selection Optimization: 1. How does this technology improve network efficiency for 5G-capable devices? - This technology enhances network selection by evaluating performance criteria before switching between cells, ensuring optimal connectivity for users. 2. What are the key factors considered when determining whether to handover to an NSA 5G cell of another MNO? - Performance criteria such as signal strength, data speed, and network congestion are evaluated to make informed decisions on network handover.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5g cellular baseband resources for 5g-capable wireless devices. a 5g-capable wireless device of an mno, while connected to or camped on a legacy 4g lte cell of the mno and not engaged in a 4g only lte service, determines whether an nsa 5g cell of another mno satisfies performance criteria before measuring and/or sending measurement data for an nsa 4g lte anchor cell associated with the nsa 5g cell to a wireless network. refraining from measuring and/or sending measurement data under certain conditions causes the 5g-capable wireless device of the mno to remain connected to or camped on the legacy 4g lte cell of the mno rather than reselecting or handing over to the nsa 4g lte cell of another mno. the 5g-capable wireless device also maintains a database of information for valid nsa 4g lte cells to which to reselect/handover.
