METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING DATA SYNCHRONIZATION FOR 4G/5G DUAL-REGISTERED MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240196278 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING DATA SYNCHRONIZATION FOR 4G/5G DUAL-REGISTERED MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
The present disclosure pertains to a communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond 4G systems, such as LTE, in the form of a pre-5G or 5G system. The embodiments described allow for the seamless transfer of remaining data between different base stations in a dual-registration interworking process, enabling terminal mobility between 4G and 5G networks without any data loss. This is achieved without the need to change the implementation of 5G and 4G base stations, by simply adding a new equipment function like SMF and UPF. Additionally, the system supports different QoS and forwarding path units in the 5G/4G networks without altering the functions of the base stations. It also eliminates the need for additional function implementation costs for re-ordering in a terminal and network by delivering packets in order to the terminal during movement between 4G and 5G networks.
