Samsung patents faster 5G handoffs by reusing signal checks

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung describes a method for 5G or 6G devices to switch between network towers more efficiently. The system allows the phone to reuse existing signal strength data for the switch instead of running new, separate measurements.

Why it mattersThis technical improvement aims to make wireless connections more stable and responsive during movement, though it is a routine optimization for network engineers.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein disclose methods for handling a lower layer triggered mobility (LTM) in a wireless network ( 1000) by a UE ( 100). The method includes receiving a RRC Reconfiguration including a LTM configuration having at least one of: a LTM candidate cell configuration, a LTM measurement configuration, and a LTM reference configuration from a network entity ( 200). Further, the method includes sending a RRC reconfiguration complete to the network entity ( 200) based on the RRC Reconfiguration, on completing the RRC reconfiguration successfully. Further, the method includes reusing one of: a L 3 measurement result, and a part of the L 3 measurement result for a LTM measurement, when the UE ( 100) is measuring the same reference signal for the L 3 measurement result and the LTM measurement.
