Wireless communication update for non-serving cell reference signal
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12004206B2) discloses a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication that includes one or more memories and processors. The UE is designed to receive an indication of an update associated with a non-serving cell reference signal from a network entity. Based on this indication, the UE selects an application time duration and applies the update after the selected duration. The selection of the application time duration is determined by whether the non-serving cell reference signal has been tracked by the UE, with different durations for tracked and non-tracked signals. The UE is also configured to transmit acknowledgments to the network entity and perform various communication functions based on the received indication.
Furthermore, the patent describes a network entity for wireless communication that can transmit updates to a UE regarding non-serving cell reference signals. Similar to the UE, the network entity selects an application time duration based on whether the UE has tracked the reference signal or not. The network entity also receives UE capability reports from the UE, indicating duration values associated with tracked or non-tracked signals, to further refine the application time duration selection process. Overall, the patent details methods and systems for optimizing wireless communication by efficiently managing updates related to non-serving cell reference signals, enhancing network performance and user experience in wireless communication environments.
