MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517076161 A) filed by Zte Corporation, Guangdong, China, on Aug. 11, for 'method for layer-1/layer-2 triggered cell switching and time advance acquisition in wireless communication system.'

Inventor(s) include Dong, Fei; Huang, He; Liu, Jing; and Zhang, Mengjie.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This disclosure is directed generally to wireless communication network and particularly to layer-1/layer-2 triggered mobility or cell switching in cellular wireless networks. Specifically, various implementations are disclosed to facilitate an acquisition of Time Advance (TA) of a target or candidate cell in advance of an actual cell switching in order to effectuate more efficient and speedier cell switching. The actual cell switching may be triggered in layer 1 or layer 2 of the wireless network. With the TA acquired in advance, a cell switching based on layer 1/layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) may be performed free of random-access procedures. The various implementations below further provide detailed example flows for effectuating a configuration for early TA acquisition, example flows for the acquisition of the TA, and examples for the LTM switching based on the acquired TA."

The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 17, 2023, under International application No.PCT/CN2023/076881.
