Efficient PLMN encoding for 5G

Abstract

A method for decoding PLMN information comprises receiving a message comprising PLMN information for a plurality of cells and determining PLMN information from the message for a first group of cells that comprises at least one cell, each cell of the first group of cells associated with a first core network type. The method further comprises determining PLMN information from the message for a second group of cells that comprises at least one cell, each cell of the second group of cells associated with a second core network type. At least one cell is a part of the first group of cells and the second group of cells. The PLMN information for the at least one cell in the first group of cells and the second group of cells is provided only once.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to efficient encoding and decoding of Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information for Long Term Evolution (LTE) devices connected to fifth generation (5G) core networks. Background technique [0002] Generally, all terms used herein are to be interpreted according to their ordinary meanings in the relevant technical field, unless a different meaning is explicitly given and / or implied from the context. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all references to "a / an / element, device, component, means, step, etc." should be construed openly as referring to at least one instance of the element, device, component, means, step, etc. . The steps of any method disclosed herein do not have to be performed in the exact order disclosed, unless one step has to be explicitly described as being after or before another step and / or implicitly one step must be after or before a...
