PAGING OPTIMIZATIONS FOR RELAY OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18041972 Titled 'PAGING OPTIMIZATIONS FOR RELAY OPERATION'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for optimizing paging in relay operations. In this method, a remote user equipment (UE) provides one or more paging identifiers to relay UEs over relay links. Each relay UE then forwards the paging identifier(s) to a serving radio access network (RAN) node. The serving RAN node further sends the paging identifier(s) to an anchor RAN node and/or a core network node to improve the paging process for the remote UE. This optimization may involve limiting the paging to the cells that include the relay UEs. The remote UE can choose to receive the paging message from one of the relay UEs or from all of them. Additionally, a relay UE can send a page reject message to decline a paging message.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to paging optimizations in relay operations. A remote UE may provide one or more paging identifiers identifying the remote UE to one or more relay UEs over respective relay links therebetween. Each relay UE may provide the paging identifier(s) of the remote UE to a respective serving radio access network (RAN) node, which may further provide the paging identifier(s) of the remote UE to an anchor RAN node and/or core network node to optimize paging of the remote UE. For example, paging of the remote UE may be limited to the cell(s) including the relay UE(s). The remote UE may further be configured to select to receive the paging message from one of the relay UEs or may receive the paging message from each of the relay UEs. A relay UE may further transmit a page reject message to reject a paging message.
