Patent ID: 10952132

Abstract:
When a sub6 user equipment (UE) device is in a millimeter wave (mmW) cell coverage, the sub6 UE device can improperly display a 5G+ icon based on a long term evolution (LTE) anchor cell. However, if the sub6 UE device moves to an area comprising a sub6 cell, when the sub6 UE device is on the LTE cell, the sub6 UE device can utilize the sub6 cell and thus properly display the 5G icon, due to the 5G availability on the sub6 band. Additionally, when the sub6 UE device transitions to a mmW and sub6 area, then the 5G icon can also be appropriately displayed because the sub6 UE device can utilize the sub6 cell from the LTE anchor cell even if the sub6 UE device cannot utilize another mmW cell.
