DEVICE, NETWORK NODE, AND METHODS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187826 titled 'DEVICE, NETWORK NODE, AND METHODS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for transferring an ongoing communication session from one user equipment to another within a communication network.

  • The method involves associating a user with a set of user equipments (UEs) in a single user subscription.
  • The set of UEs includes at least a first UE and a second UE.
  • Information related to each UE's name, communication capabilities, and communication session status is obtained.
  • A user indication is obtained based on the received information, indicating to transfer the ongoing communication session to another UE.
  • A network node is then requested to transfer the ongoing communication session from the first UE to the second UE.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile communication networks to seamlessly transfer communication sessions between different devices, providing users with flexibility and continuity in their communication activities.

Problems Solved

1. Seamless transfer of communication sessions between different user equipments. 2. Enhancing user experience by allowing users to switch devices during ongoing communication sessions.

Benefits

1. Improved user flexibility and convenience. 2. Enhanced user experience in communication activities. 3. Efficient utilization of multiple user equipments within a single subscription.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing communication services in mobile networks by enabling smooth transfer of communication sessions between different devices.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of call handover techniques in cellular networks to transfer calls between base stations or cells without interruption.

== What are the limitations of the current technology in transferring ongoing communication sessions between user equipments?

Limitations of Current Technology in Communication Session Transfer

One limitation of the current technology is the lack of standardized methods for transferring ongoing communication sessions between different user equipments within a single user subscription. This can lead to inconsistencies in user experience and potential interruptions during the transfer process.

== How does this technology compare to existing methods of transferring communication sessions between user equipments?

Comparison with Existing Methods of Communication Session Transfer

This technology offers a more streamlined and user-friendly approach to transferring ongoing communication sessions between user equipments by obtaining user indications based on relevant information about each device. This targeted approach enhances the efficiency and reliability of the transfer process.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method performed for handling an ongoing communication session with a remote party in a communication network is provided. a user is associated with a set of user equipments, ues, in a single user subscription. the set of ues includes at least a first ue and a second ue. the ongoing communication session with the remote party involves the first ue. for each respective ue out of the set of ues, information is obtained. the information is related to the respective ue's name recognizable by the user, communication capabilities, and communication session status. a user indication is obtained. the user indication is based on the received information. the indication indicates to transfer the ongoing communication session with the remote party. according to the indication, a network node is requested to transfer the ongoing communication session from the first ue to the second ue.
