METHOD FOR LOW LAYER INTER-CELL MOBILITY MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340711 titled 'METHOD FOR LOW LAYER INTER-CELL MOBILITY MANAGEMENT
The abstract describes a method for using low layer protocols for inter-cell mobility management in a 5G wireless communications system. The serving 5G node configures reports that a user equipment transmits to make handover decisions, including layer 3 measurements corresponding to neighboring or serving cells' transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. These reports are conveyed using lower layer protocols, enabling handover and synchronization between TCI states.
- Serving 5G nodes can configure reports for handover decisions based on layer 3 measurements.
- Reports include layer 1 measurements conveyed using a layer 1 protocol.
- Handover and synchronization between TCI states are performed using lower layer protocols.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced inter-cell mobility management in 5G networks. - Improved handover decisions for user equipment in wireless communications systems.
Problems Solved: - Efficient handover and synchronization between different TCI states. - Enhanced inter-cell mobility management for seamless connectivity.
Benefits: - Better user experience with optimized handover decisions. - Increased network efficiency and reliability in 5G wireless communications.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Inter-Cell Mobility Management for 5G Networks" This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to improve the performance and reliability of their 5G networks, leading to better user experiences and increased customer satisfaction. It can also be integrated into network equipment and devices to enhance inter-cell mobility management capabilities.
Questions about Inter-Cell Mobility Management in 5G Networks: 1. How does this technology improve handover decisions in 5G networks? This technology enhances handover decisions by utilizing lower layer protocols for inter-cell mobility management, enabling efficient synchronization between different TCI states. 2. What are the potential benefits of using layer 3 measurements for handover decisions in wireless communications systems? Layer 3 measurements provide valuable information about neighboring or serving cells' TCI states, enabling more informed handover decisions and improving overall network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for using low layer protocols for inter-cell mobility management in a 5g wireless communications system. a serving 5g node b (gnb) can configure reports that a user equipment (ue) transmits to the serving gnb to make handover decisions. the serving gnb can configure a group of transmission configuration indication (tci) states (e.g., a group of beams) that correspond a physical cell, and the report includes layer 3 measurements corresponding to a neighboring or serving cell's tci state. the report can be conveyed using lower layer protocols. the report can include layer 1 measurements conveyed using a layer 1 protocol and the serving gnb can perform filtering to generate corresponding layer 3 measurement results. based on the reports, the serving gnb can perform a handover and synchronization using lower layer protocols, from one tci state to another.
