Samsung patents smarter cell switching for 5G and 6G networks

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has filed a patent for a method that helps mobile devices switch between cell towers more smoothly. The system groups nearby towers into a 'coordinated cell group' so the phone can measure signals from multiple towers at once. This allows the network to manage the connection better when the user moves, supporting faster data speeds in 5G and 6G.

Why it mattersThis aims to reduce dropped calls and lag when moving between cell towers, which is a common issue in high-speed data networks.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. According to the present disclosure, a terminal capable of multiple-antenna transmission and reception operations may measure transmission signals of an adjacent transmission terminal to perform more efficient mobility management operations.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a control message including configuration information associated with a coordinated cell group (CCG) including a plurality of cells capable of performing layer 1 and layer 2 handover when a terminal moves between cells, the configuration information including information of the plurality of cells included in the CCG; and receiving measurement report for the CCG from the terminal in case that measurement for the CCG is performed by the terminal and a reporting condition for the measurement is satisfied.
