US 2019/0104564 A1 · Conditional RRC Confirm Messaging In Wireless Communications

Abstract

Various examples and schemes pertaining to conditional radio resource control (RRC) confirm messaging are described. A user equipment (UE) communicates with a network node of a wireless network. In communicating with the network node, the UE transmits a first message to the network node and receives a second message from the network node responsive to the transmitting of the first message. The UE also determines whether to transmit a third message to the network node acknowledging receipt of the second message. That is, transmission of the third message as a confirmation of receipt of the second message is conditional or otherwise optional so as to reduce signaling overhead.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

communicating, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), a with a network node of a wireless network, the communicating involving:
transmitting, by the processor, a first message to the network node;
receiving, by the processor, a second message from the network node responsive to the transmitting of the first message;
and
determining, by the processor, whether to transmit a third message to the network node acknowledging receipt of the second message.

2 more elements

An apparatus, comprising:

a transceiver capable of wirelessly communicating with a network node of a wireless network;
and
a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor capable of:
transmitting, via the transceiver, a first message to the network node;
receiving, via the transceiver, a second message from the network node responsive to the transmitting of the first message;
and
determining whether to transmit a third message to the network node acknowledging receipt of the second message.
