METHODS OF PROVISION OF CSI-RS FOR MOBILITY TO IDLE USER EQUIPMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031824 titled 'METHODS OF PROVISION OF CSI-RS FOR MOBILITY TO IDLE USER EQUIPMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method used by a network node to provide channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) to a user equipment (UE) while it is in idle mode.

  • The method involves notifying the UE that CSI-RS for mobility occasions are available in idle mode when it is transitioning into idle mode or already in idle mode.
  • The network node then transmits the CSI-RS for mobility occasion to the UE while it is in idle mode.
  • This method enables the UE to receive important channel state information even when it is not actively engaged in communication, allowing for better mobility management.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method by a network node to provide connected mode channel state information-reference signal, CSI-RS, for mobility to an user equipment, UE, while in idle mode includes providing the UE with an indication that CSI-RS for mobility occasions are available in idle mode based on determining that the UE is transitioning into idle or mode or is in idle mode. The method includes transmitting a CSI-RS for mobility occasion to the UE while the UE is in idle mode.
