Wireless access network method for obtaining la and sa information
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11924745B2) discloses a method for terminals in a wireless access network to obtain system information from both small area cells (SA-cells) and large area cells (LA-cells). The method involves the terminal receiving LA-cell system information and SA-cell system information when in idle mode via the LA-cell radio interface, and receiving additional LA-cell system information when in active mode with the SA-cell radio interface enabled. This approach allows for efficient data exchange and network optimization between the terminal and the different cells within the network.
Furthermore, the patent includes additional claims such as receiving SA-cell system information when the terminal is in active mode, enabling the LA-cell radio interface based on triggers like handovers or timer expiry, and obtaining SA-cell system information from other SA-cells via the LA-cell radio interface when in idle mode. The method also involves receiving activation status of SA-cells and appropriately enabling or disabling the radio interfaces based on the terminal's mode. Additionally, the patent covers a terminal with means to perform the method and a computer-readable medium with software code for executing the steps outlined in the claims. Overall, the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and performance of wireless access networks by enabling terminals to gather necessary system information from both SA-cells and LA-cells based on their operational modes.
