MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (201727040212 A) filed by Mediatek Inc., Hsin-Chu, Taiwan, on Nov. 10, 2017, for 'an on-demand reconfigurable control plane architecture (orca) integrating millimeter-wave small cell and microwave macro cell.'
Inventor(s) include Sang, Aimin Justin; Zhang, Yuanyuan; and Jheng, Yu-Syuan.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Millimeter-wave (mmWave) band communication is a very promising technology for 5G small cells. In practice, such a new system will coexist with legacy or evolved microwave band systems, such as E-UTRAN LTE macro-cell cellular systems, for a long time to come. Considering the typical scenarios where a macro cell offers umbrella coverage for clusters of small cells, several control plane (C-plane) architectural choices of macro-assisted 5G mmWave systems from both UE and network's perspectives are evaluated. The proposed On-demand Reconfiguration C-Plane Architecture (ORCA) for Macro-assisted Millimeter Wave (mmWave) small cells is designed to meet 5G expectations of dense deployment of small cells and UEs and beamformed intermittent Gbps links."
