MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202418052433 A) filed by Nec Corporation on July 09, 2024, for Cell Selection Based On User Capability.
Inventors include Chen, Yuhua; and Suarez, Alberto.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: A cellular communication system is disclosed in which a base station operates a cell which has a supplementary uplink portion (e.g. on a different frequency and/or using a different technology). The base station broadcasts an offset for user equipment (UE) in its coverage area to assist the UE performing cell selection. Specifically, the UE determines, based on measurements for the cell, the offset, and capability of the UE to communicate using the supplementary uplink portion, whether the cell of the base station is an appropriate candidate for cell selection such that: if the UE is capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion then the UE performs cell (re)selection based on the offset; and if the UE is not capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion then the UE disregards the offset in its cell (re)selection.
