TECHNIQUES FOR EFFICIENT MOBILITY USING RELAY DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163740 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR EFFICIENT MOBILITY USING RELAY DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that involve determining whether a user equipment (UE) is inside or outside of a vehicle using a relay device.

  • User equipment (UE) and a base station determine if the UE is inside or outside a vehicle with a relay device.
  • Techniques for determining UE location relative to the vehicle are described.
  • UE decides whether to connect to a cell of the relay device based on its location.
  • Base station performs connected mode mobility for the UE based on its location.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Automotive industry for improving in-vehicle wireless connectivity.
  • Public transportation systems for enhancing passenger communication.

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring seamless connectivity for users transitioning between inside and outside of vehicles.
  • Optimizing network performance based on UE location.

Benefits

  • Improved user experience with consistent wireless connectivity.
  • Enhanced network efficiency with targeted UE management.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Automotive technology companies for integrating wireless communication solutions.
  • Telecommunication providers for offering enhanced services for mobile users.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of handover techniques in cellular networks to manage UE mobility between different cells.

What are the technical specifications of the relay device used in this system?

The technical specifications of the relay device, such as its range, frequency bands supported, and power consumption, are not detailed in the abstract. Further information would be needed to understand the capabilities of the relay device.

How does the system handle handovers between the base station and the relay device?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how handovers are managed between the base station and the relay device. Additional information on the handover process would be required to understand the system's efficiency in handling transitions.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. a user equipment (ue) and a base station may determine whether the ue is inside or outside of a vehicle with a relay device. techniques for determining whether the ue is inside or outside of the vehicle are described herein. the ue may determine whether to camp on a cell of the relay device based on whether the ue is inside or outside the vehicle. the base station may perform connected mode mobility for the ue based on whether the ue is inside or outside the vehicle.
