  • Publication number: 20240007915
    Abstract: A method for a user equipment to preselect at least one base station in a mobile network, the user equipment being attached to an associated base station of the plurality of base stations, the method being implemented by the user equipment and including receiving a signal from each base station of the plurality of base stations; measuring at least one characteristic of each received signal, the measurement including the creation of a report including all of the assigned values; preselecting at least one base station according to at least one criterion relating to the user equipment and the measurement carried out in the measurement stage; modifying at least one value of the report created in the measurement stage according to the preselection, and sending the report to the associated base station.

  • Patent number: 11109297
    Abstract: A method of communication between a user terminal powered by a battery and a base station allowing optimization of the management of the battery of the user terminal, includes a step of selecting from among terminals, termed surrounding terminals, powered by battery and situated in a zone within range of the base station, terminals whose distance with the user terminal is less than a predetermined distance and whose battery level is greater than a predetermined threshold, termed neighbour terminals, a step of configuring the neighbour terminals and the user terminal by way of a configuration setpoint, a step of transmitting data between the user terminal and the base station according to the configuration setpoint defining at least one neighbour terminal through which the data pass.

  • Patent number: 9661578
    Abstract: A battery sharing method to increase the service life of the batteries of PMR terminals having important uses, such as the terminal of the head of a group such as the police, firefighters, or the like, is disclosed. The technique is based on the detection of neighboring networks and/or neighboring nodes. The detection is facilitated by reiterating a selection (or reselection) of cells and a handover (HO)/vertical handover (VHO) procedure, while relaying and coordinating transmission and reception. The aim of the techniques is to improve communications as well as the duration thereof, in order to enable improved management of the battery of each terminal and to broaden coverage in areas that are not served by a network.
