PHYSICAL CELL IDENTIFIER MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240292207 titled 'PHYSICAL CELL IDENTIFIER MANAGEMENT
The abstract of this patent application discusses aspects related to wireless communication, specifically focusing on a distributed unit (DU) associated with an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node transmitting a restriction indication to a central unit (CU) regarding the configuration of a physical cell identifier (PCI) for a cell served by the DU. The restriction indication includes PCI values that are allowed or not allowed for the cell configuration, with the CU transmitting a PCI configuration in accordance with this indication.
- The patent application involves a system where a DU transmits a restriction indication to a CU regarding the PCI configuration of a cell.
- The restriction indication includes PCI values that are either allowed or not allowed for the cell configuration.
- The CU then transmits a PCI configuration for the cell based on the received restriction indication.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the deployment of wireless communication networks to optimize PCI configurations for cells. - It may enhance network efficiency and performance by ensuring proper PCI allocation.
Problems Solved: - Helps in avoiding interference and optimizing network resources by restricting certain PCI values for cell configurations.
Benefits: - Improved network performance and efficiency. - Enhanced quality of service for wireless communication.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized PCI Configuration System for Wireless Networks" This technology could be valuable for telecommunications companies, network operators, and infrastructure providers looking to enhance the performance of their wireless communication networks.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the restriction indication help in optimizing the PCI configuration for cells? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in large-scale wireless networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. in some aspects, a distributed unit (du) associated with an integrated access and backhaul (iab)-node may transmit, and a central unit (cu) may receive, a restriction indication that indicates a restriction for a physical cell identifier (pci) configuration of a cell that is served by the du. the restriction indication may include, for example, one or more pci values that are not to be used for the pci configuration of the cell, and/or may include one or more pci values that are allowed to be used for the pci configuration of the cell. the cu may transmit, and the du may receive, a pci configuration of the cell that is in accordance with the restriction indication. numerous other aspects are described.
