Inventor(s) include Mohammed, Sofheem; Mane, Harshal R; Thareja, Rohit; and Venkataraman, Vijay.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Apparatus and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) to communicate with a new radio (NR) wireless network in a standalone deployment. The UE camps on a first cell and determines that a first bandwidth (BW) of the first cell is greater than or equal to a threshold BW value. In response, when the UE is not configured for bandwidth part switching (BWPS), the UE determines whether a second cell is available that is intraband with and has a same priority as the first cell and that has a second BW that is less than the threshold BW value. When the second cell is not available, the UE searches for a next lower priority cell that has a third BW that is less than the threshold BW value."
The patent application was internationally filed on Aug. 28, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/044141.
