HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323780 titled 'HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a method and apparatus for achieving complete cell synchronization between a terminal and a target cell during a handover in wireless communication. The handover involves transitioning a terminal from one network device to another.

  • The method involves connecting to a first cell through the first network device.
  • Performing downlink synchronization with a downlink synchronization signal from a second cell sent by the second network device.
  • Connecting to the second cell via the second network device.
  • Both the first and second cells have the same cell identifier.
  • The terminal is designed to execute this method.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Seamless handover process between network devices.
  • Complete cell synchronization for uninterrupted communication.
  • Use of the same cell identifier for both cells involved in the handover.

Potential Applications:

  • Mobile network handovers.
  • Wireless communication systems.
  • Cellular network optimization.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensuring smooth transitions during handovers.
  • Preventing signal disruptions during cell synchronization.
  • Enhancing overall network efficiency.

Benefits:

  • Improved call quality during handovers.
  • Enhanced user experience in wireless communication.
  • Optimal network performance.

Commercial Applications:

  • Telecom companies for improving network reliability.
  • Mobile device manufacturers for enhancing user experience.
  • Network infrastructure providers for optimizing cellular networks.

Questions about Wireless Handover Technology:

1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of handovers in wireless communication systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using the same cell identifier for both the source and target cells during a handover?


Original Abstract Submitted

a handover method and an apparatus, and relates to the wireless communication field, complete cell synchronization between a terminal and a target cell for handover. the handover of a terminal may occur from a first network device to a second network device. the method includes: connecting to a first cell via the first network device; performing downlink synchronization with a downlink synchronization signal of a second cell sent by the second network device; and connecting to the second cell via the second network device. the first cell and the second cell have a same cell identifier. the terminal is configured to perform the method.
