Application: Processing method for relay user equipment and user equipment (Patent ID: US20240215082A1)

The patent filed by Sharp Corp. describes a processing method for relay user equipment (UE) and user equipment, focusing on handling access control during the initiation of an RRC connection establishment procedure. The method involves the relay UE informing an upper layer if access is barred, triggering a PC5-S message, and transmitting it to a remote UE to adjust its RRC state accordingly. The invention aims to improve communication reliability and efficiency in wireless networks by managing connection establishment and access control procedures effectively.

The patent claims detail the functions of a User Equipment (UE) in initiating RRC connection establishment or resumption procedures, handling rejection messages from the network, informing upper layers about connection failures, and transmitting appropriate messages to other UEs. The method outlined in the claims ensures that UEs can efficiently manage RRC connections, respond to rejections, and maintain communication integrity within the network. Overall, the patent and its claims focus on enhancing the performance and reliability of UEs in wireless communication systems through effective control methods during connection establishment and maintenance processes.
