Application: Terminal apparatus that executes cell selection in accordance with frequency band priority, control method for same, and computer-readable storage medium (Patent ID: US20240089851A1)
The patent filed by KDDI Corp. describes a terminal apparatus that selects a connection destination cell based on priorities and the ability to execute a predetermined function in a specific frequency band. The terminal acquires information from a base station regarding priorities for each cell in different frequency bands, as well as information on the base station's ability to execute a predetermined function. The terminal then selects a connection destination cell based on these factors, prioritizing the predetermined function execution when both the base station and terminal can perform it in the predetermined frequency band.
The terminal apparatus includes processors and memories to facilitate the selection process, ensuring efficient and effective cell selection based on priorities and the ability to execute specific functions. The predetermined function can include narrowband communication, early measurement reporting, or implementing a network slice identified by specific parameters. The patent also covers a control method executed by the terminal apparatus and a computer-readable storage medium storing a program for the same purpose, emphasizing the importance of selecting a connection destination cell based on priorities and the ability to execute predetermined functions in specific frequency bands.
