[0002] This patent application claims priority to Indian Provisional Patent Application No. 202041031675, filed on July 24, 2020, entitled “PERIODIC STREAMING OF REPORTS FROM USER EQUIPMENTS,” which has been assigned to the assignee of this application. The disclosure of the earlier application is considered part of this patent application and is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] In summary, various aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatus for periodic streaming of reports from user equipment. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / Improved LTE is an enhanced set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication for multiple user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlinks and uplinks. A "downlink" (or "forward link") refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while an "uplink" (or "backlink") refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, Access Point (AP), Radio Headend, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), New Radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which can also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL) and CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), thereby better supporting mobile broadband internet access, as well as beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or a method may be implemented using any number of the aspects set forth herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods implemented using structures, functions, or structures and functions other than or different from the aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0028] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, through various frames, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such an element is implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the entire system.

[0029] It should be noted that while this document may use terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) to describe aspects, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0030] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, as well as other examples. Wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0031] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and can allow restricted access by UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells can be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells can be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell BS or a home BS. Figure 1In the examples shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0032] In some respects, the cell may not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).

[0033] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send the data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.

[0034] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0035] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a group of base stations (BSs) and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. BSs can also communicate with each other via wireless or wired backhaul (e.g., directly or indirectly).

[0036] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet device, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or apparatus, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, or satellite radio unit), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0037] Some UEs can be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes can provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links, for example. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing housing the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0038] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0039] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary for communication with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols) and / or mesh networks. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0040] Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) (spanning from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or may communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2) (spanning from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequencies (IFs). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally referred to as the “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the “millimeter wave” band, although FR2 is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it should be understood that the terms “sub-6 GHz”, etc. (if used herein), can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms “millimeter wave” and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is anticipated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0041] As pointed out above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0042] Figure 2This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally, T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0043] At base station 110, transmitting processor 220 can receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmitting processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, permission, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitting processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding, if applicable) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can (e.g., for OFDM) process its corresponding output symbol stream to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t respectively.

[0044] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) parameter, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameter, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or CQI parameter, as well as other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0045] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0046] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within the following: one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays, and other examples. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element sets and / or non-coplanar antenna element sets. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or antenna elements within multiple housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...) Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0047] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmitting processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmitting processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from the transmitting processor 264 can be pre-coded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 can be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modulator and / or demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., refer to...). Figure 5-8 ).

[0048] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246, which schedules UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some aspects, modulators and demodulators (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., refer to...). Figure 5-8 ).

[0049] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2 Any other components may perform one or more techniques associated with the periodic streaming of reports from the UE, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can perform or direct, for example Figure 7 Process 700 Figure 8 The operation of process 800 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, translation, and / or interpretation), may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 7 Process 700 Figure 8 The operation of process 800 and / or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, execution instructions may include run instructions, translation instructions, compilation instructions and / or interpretation instructions, and other examples.

[0050] In some aspects, the UE (e.g., UE 120) may include: units for receiving configuration information indicating one or more first measurement types from a base station (e.g., base station 110); and / or units for periodically transmitting to the base station, at least in part, first measurements based on one or more first measurement types indicated in the configuration information, both in idle mode and in an inactive state. Units for the UE to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, or memory 282.

[0051] In some aspects, a base station (e.g., base station 110) may include: units for transmitting configuration information indicating one or more first measurement types to a UE (e.g., UE 120); and / or units for periodically receiving, and when the UE is in an idle mode or inactive state, first measurements at least in part based on one or more first measurement types indicated in the configuration information from the UE. Units for the base station to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of a transmit processor 220, a TXMIMO processor 230, a modulator 232, an antenna 234, a demodulator 232, a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, or a scheduler 246.

[0052] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are shown as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0053] As pointed out above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

Figure 3 As shown, Example 300 includes communication between a base station and a UE. The base station and the UE can communicate on a radio access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink. Figure 3 As further illustrated, Example 300 includes communication between a core network and a base station. The core network and the base station can communicate over wired connections (such as wired backhaul) and / or wireless connections (such as wireless backhaul).

[0055] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 305 in the accompanying drawings, the UE and the base station can establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection. For example, the UE can enter a connected mode, which typically consumes more power than the idle mode or inactive state associated with the UE.

[0056] As shown in conjunction with reference to reference numeral 310, the base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a configuration message indicating one or more measurement types for the UE to measure. The one or more measurement types may be MDT measurement types. For example, the base station may indicate a measurement type associated with the serving cell, a measurement type associated with one or more neighboring cells, a measurement type associated with a Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN), a measurement type associated with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a measurement type associated with a Bluetooth connection, a measurement type associated with the UE's location, a measurement type associated with in-device coexistence, and / or another MDT measurement type. MDT measurement types may also indicate one or more measurements to be performed, such as RSRP, RSRQ, Received Signal Code Power (RSCP), Energy per Chip Divided by Power Density (Ec / No), Received Signal Level (Rxlev), Block Error Rate (BLER), and / or another measurement.

[0057] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 315 in the attached figure, the UE and the base station can release the RRC connection. Therefore, the UE can enter idle mode or inactive state to save power.

[0058] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 320, when in idle mode or inactive state, the UE can perform measurements based on one or more measurement types. Additionally, the UE can write the measurements to its memory for later transmission to the base station.

[0059] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 325 in the attached figure, the UE and the base station can re-establish the RRC connection. For example, the UE can re-enter connected mode.

[0060] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 330, the UE can indicate to the base station that the UE has entered connected mode. Based at least in part on receiving the indication from the UE, and as shown in conjunction with reference numeral 335, the base station can request measurements for one or more measurement types. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the base station can send UEInformation Request messages as defined in 3GPP specifications and / or another standard.

[0061] At least in part, based on receiving a request, and as illustrated by reference numeral 340 in the accompanying drawings, the UE can send measurements to the base station. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the UE can send UE information response messages as defined in 3GPP specifications and / or another standard. Because measurements are often large, the UE typically sends a file to the base station that includes all stored measurements (e.g., as described above in conjunction with reference numeral 320).

[0062] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 345, and upon receiving a file containing measurements, the base station can determine an address for a portion of the core network to which the measurements should be sent. This address could be, for example, an Internet Protocol (IP) address and / or another network-based address. The base station can map indicators associated with a tracking reference, indicators associated with a tracking session, indicators associated with a tracking collection entity (TCE), and / or another indicator to the address.

[0063] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 350, the base station can indicate to the core network that it has received a file containing measurements from the UE. Based at least in part on receiving the indication from the base station, and as shown in conjunction with reference numeral 355, the core network can provide a link such that the base station transmits and the core network receives a file containing measurements for one or more measurement types.

[0064] As pointed out above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 3 The example described.

[0065] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 of an MDT measurement triggered according to this disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, Example 400 includes communication between a base station and a UE. The base station and the UE can communicate on a radio access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink. Figure 4 As further illustrated, Example 400 includes communication between a core network and a base station. The core network and the base station can communicate over wired connections (such as wired backhaul) and / or wireless connections (such as wireless backhaul).

[0066] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 405 in the accompanying drawings, the base station can reconfigure the RRC connection with the UE. For example, the UE can enter a connected mode, which typically consumes more power than the idle mode or inactive state associated with the UE.

[0067] RRC reconfiguration can also indicate one or more measurement types for the UE to measure. These measurement types can be MDT measurement types. For example, the base station can indicate measurement types associated with the serving cell, measurement types associated with one or more neighboring cells, measurement types associated with MBSFN, measurement types associated with WLAN, measurement types associated with Bluetooth connectivity, measurement types associated with the UE's location, measurement types associated with in-device coexistence, and / or another MDT measurement type. (As described above...) Figure 3As described, the MDT measurement type can also indicate one or more measurements to be performed, such as RSRP, RSRQ, RSCP, Ec / No, Rxlev, BLER and / or another measurement.

[0068] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 410, the UE can indicate to the base station that the UE has entered connected mode. Based on the indication received from the UE, and as shown in conjunction with reference numerals 415a and 420a, the UE can send, and the base station can receive, measurement reports associated with one or more measurement types based on report triggers. Triggers can be periodic (e.g., every 1 ms, every 2 ms, etc.) and / or event-based (e.g., when a measurement meets one or more thresholds, or when the base station sends an on-demand request for a measurement, and other examples). Although Example 400 includes two triggers (shown in conjunction with reference numerals 415a and 415b) and two corresponding report transmissions from the UE to the base station (shown in conjunction with reference numerals 420a and 420b), this description similarly applies to any fewer triggers and corresponding report transmissions (e.g., one trigger and one transmission) or to additional triggers and corresponding report transmissions (e.g., three triggers and three transmissions, four triggers and four transmissions, etc.).

[0069] Therefore, by using methods such as combination Figure 4 The described technology, combined with the above, Figure 3 Compared to the described technology, the base station can receive measurements from the UE faster and at a higher frequency. However, in Example 400, the UE consumes significantly more power and processing resources compared to Example 300 because the UE remains in connected mode rather than performing measurements in idle mode or an inactive state.

[0070] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 425, and upon receiving a measurement, the base station can determine an address for a portion of the core network to which the measurement should be sent. This address could be, for example, an IP address and / or another network-based address. The base station can map indicators associated with a tracking reference, an indicator associated with a tracking session, an indicator associated with a TCE, and / or another indicator to this address.

[0071] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 430, the base station can indicate to the core network that it has received measurements from the UE. The base station can then compile the measurements into a file. Based on the indication received from the base station, and as shown in conjunction with reference numeral 435, the core network can provide a link that allows the base station to transmit and the core network to receive files containing measurements for one or more measurement types.

[0072] As pointed out above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4The example described.

[0073] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating example 500 associated with streaming MDT reports to the core network according to this disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, Example 500 includes communication between a base station and a UE, and between a core network and a base station. The base station and the UE can communicate on a radio access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink, and the core network and the base station can communicate on a radio link and / or a wired link (e.g., a backhaul). Although the description focuses on MTD reports sent from the UE to the base station and from the base station to the core network, this description similarly applies to other reports sent from the UE to the base station and from the base station to the core network.

[0074] As shown in reference numeral 505 in the accompanying drawing, the base station can receive MDT reports from the UE. For example, the base station can receive MDT reports via an RRC connection. (As described above...) Figure 3 As described, an MDT report can be a document containing MDT measurements recorded over a period of time and transmitted by the UE to the base station after the UE returns to the connected state. Alternatively or concurrently, as described above... Figure 4 As described, the MDT report may include MDT measurements sent to the base station based on periodic and / or triggered events. The base station may compile the MDT measurements into a file before sending the file to the core network.

[0075] As shown in conjunction with reference to figure 510, a portion of the core network (such as an Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M) entity and / or an Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) entity) may receive MDT reports from the base station. The core network may distribute the MDT reports received at the OAM to different customers of the core network operator (e.g., based on which UE initiated the MDT report and / or based on the different MDT measurement types included in the MDT report, and other examples). For example, customers may include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), application developers, and / or internet service providers (ISPs), and other examples.

[0076] The base station can stream MDT measurements to the core network. For example, the base station can send different MDT measurements (e.g., extracted from a file that includes MDT reports) to different addresses (e.g., different IP addresses) based at least in part on tracking parameters associated with the UE, Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) associated with the MDT measurements, and / or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) addresses associated with different customers.

[0077] By using, such as combination Figure 5 The described streaming technology, combined with the above... Figure 3 and Figure 4 Compared to the described file transfer technology, the core network can receive MDT measurements at a higher frequency. However, the rate of increase in MDT measurement reception by the core network is limited because the UE may provide MDT measurements to the base station relatively infrequently (e.g., as...). Figure 3 As shown). Alternatively, the rate of increase in core network receiving MDT measurements may depend on a significant increase in power consumption and processing resources by the UE in order to increase the frequency of MDT measurements (e.g., as shown). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0078] Some of the techniques and apparatus described herein allow a UE (e.g., UE 120) to stream measurements (such as MDT measurements) to a base station (e.g., base station 110) while remaining in idle mode or inactive. Therefore, UE 120 can conserve power and processing resources while still providing measurements to base station 110 faster and at a higher frequency. Thus, in some aspects, base station 110 can stream measurements to the core network supporting base station 110, enabling the core network to receive measurements from the base station faster and at a higher frequency.

[0079] As pointed out above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 5 The example described.

[0080] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating example 600 of streaming an MDT report from a UE (e.g., UE 120) according to this disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, Example 600 includes communication between base station 110 and UE 120. Base station 110 and UE 120 may be included in a wireless network (such as those described above). Figure 1 In the wireless network 100 shown and described, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate on a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.

[0081] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 605 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 and UE 120 can establish an RRC connection. Therefore, base station 110 and UE 120 can be in a connected state. In some aspects, in the connected state, UE 120 can transmit and base station 110 can receive at least one bit indicating that UE 120 is capable of streaming a first measurement to the base station. For example, UE 120 can transmit and base station 110 can receive an MDT StreamingSupport Boolean value included in the UE-NR-Capability data structure and / or other similar information included in a similar data structure (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard). Therefore, in some aspects, at least one bit can be included in the RRC message from UE 120.

[0082] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 610 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 can transmit and UE 120 can receive configuration information indicating one or more first measurement types. In some aspects, the configuration information can be included in an RRC message. For example, base station 110 can transmit and UE 120 can receive the MDT_Stream_Type octet from the MdtStreamConfiguration data structure. Although the description focuses on the MDT_Stream_Type octet and the MdtStreamConfiguration data structure, this description similarly applies to other information included in similar data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard).

[0083] Therefore, in some aspects, the configuration information may include a string, and one or more bits of that string may indicate a first measurement type. For example, the MDT_Stream_Type octet may be a string with eight bits, where each bit corresponds to a measurement type. In some aspects, the leftmost bit may correspond to a measurement type associated with the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells, the next bit may correspond to a measurement type associated with the MBSFN, and the other bits may correspond to other measurement types. Thus, based on which bits of the string are set to "1" (or set to "TRUE" or "ON" or otherwise activated), the UE 120 may determine the first measurement type to be streamed to the base station 110.

[0084] In some aspects, the first measurement type may be associated with MDT. For example, the first measurement type may include a measurement type associated with the serving cell, a measurement type associated with one or more neighboring cells, a measurement type associated with MBSFN, a measurement type associated with WLAN, a measurement type associated with Bluetooth connectivity, a measurement type associated with the UE's location, a measurement type associated with in-device coexistence, and / or another measurement type.

[0085] In some aspects, the configuration information may also indicate the duration associated with measuring a first measurement type. For example, base station 110 may send, and UE 120 may receive, the mdtStreamDuration variable in the MdtStreamConfiguration data structure. Although the description focuses on the mdtStreamDuration variable and the MdtStreamConfiguration data structure, this description similarly applies to other information included in similar data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard). In some aspects, base station 110 may send the duration in the same message as the configuration information or in a different message, and UE 120 may receive the duration. UE 120 may perform a measurement for the first measurement type within the indicated duration.

[0086] In some aspects, the configuration information may indicate one or more uplink grants for UE 120 to send a first measurement to base station 110. For example, base station 110 may send, and UE 120 may receive, an MDT Stream UL GrantConfig data structure within an MdtStreamConfiguration data structure. Although the description focuses on the MDT Stream UL GrantConfig and MdtStreamConfiguration data structures, this description similarly applies to other uplink grant configurations included in similar data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard). In some aspects, base station 110 may send the uplink grant in the same message as the configuration information or in a different message, and UE 120 may receive the uplink grant. When one or more first measurement types include multiple first measurement types, one or more uplink grants may include multiple uplink grants. Therefore, each of the first measurement types may be associated with a corresponding uplink grant (e.g., in a one-to-one relationship). Therefore, each uplink permission can be associated with a relatively small transport block (TB) size.

[0087] Additionally, for configuration information, base station 110 can send and UE 120 can receive additional configuration information indicating one or more additional measurement types. In some aspects, the additional configuration information can be included in the RRC message. For example, base station 110 can send and UE 120 can receive the LoggedMeasurementConfiguration data structure. Although the description focuses on the LoggedMeasurementConfiguration data structure, this description similarly applies to other data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard).

[0088] In some aspects, additional measurement types may be associated with the MDT. For example, one or more additional measurement types may include measurement types associated with the serving cell, measurement types associated with one or more neighboring cells, measurement types associated with the MBSFN, measurement types associated with WLAN, measurement types associated with Bluetooth connectivity, measurement types associated with the UE's location, measurement types associated with in-device coexistence, and / or another measurement type. Additional measurement types may include at least one measurement type not included in the first measurement type.

[0089] In some aspects, additional configuration information may also indicate the duration for measuring additional measurement types. For example, base station 110 may send the loggingDuration variable from the LoggedMeasurementConfiguration data structure, and UE 120 may receive the loggingDuration variable. Although the description focuses on the loggingDuration variable and the LoggedMeasurementConfiguration data structure, this description similarly applies to other information included in similar data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard). UE 120 may perform measurements for the additional measurement type within the indicated duration. In some aspects, the loggingDuration variable and the mdtStreamDuration variable may indicate the same duration or different durations. In some aspects, when base station 110 is instructing UE 120 to measure a first measurement type and an additional measurement type within the same duration, base station 110 may send only one of the loggingDuration variable or the mdtStreamDuration variable.

[0090] In some aspects, at least in part based on configuration information, UE 120 may refuse to stream the first measurement to base station 110. For example, UE 120 may send, and base station 110 may receive, information indicating that UE 120 is not ready to stream the first measurement to base station 110. In some aspects, UE 120 may send an mdtStreamingLimitedSupport indication in a UEAssistanceInformation data structure, and base station 110 may receive the mdtStreamingLimitedSupport indication. Although the description focuses on the mdtStreamingLimitedSupport indication and the UEAssistanceInformation data structure, this description similarly applies to other indications included in similar data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard).

[0091] In some aspects, UE 120 may send information indicating that UE 120 is not ready to stream the first measurement, based at least in part on battery level associated with UE 120, temperature associated with UE 120, network quality determined by UE 120 (e.g., RSRP, CQI, and / or another quality indicator associated with base station 110), requirements associated with the network serving UE 120, and / or requirements associated with UE 120's OEM. In some aspects, information sent by UE 120 to base station 110 (e.g., mdtStreamingLimitedSupport indication) may indicate the reason why UE 120 refuses to stream the first measurement.

[0092] Therefore, UE 120 can fall back to the measurement recording procedure. For example, after a duration associated with the configuration information, and similar to the operation described below in conjunction with reference numerals 640, 645, and 650, UE 120 can send a file including one or more first measurements, at least in part, based on a first measurement type, and base station 110 can receive the file. In some aspects, base station 110 can instruct UE 120 to fall back. For example, based at least in part on information indicating that UE 120 is not ready to stream the first measurements, base station 110 can send, and UE 120 can receive, new configuration information instructing UE 120 to deliver the first measurements in the file after a duration associated with the configuration information and without periodicity. Alternatively or additionally, UE 120 can automatically default to the measurement recording procedure after sending information indicating that UE 120 is not ready to stream the first measurements.

[0093] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 615 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 and base station 110 can release the RRC connection. For example, UE 120 can enter an idle mode or inactive state, in which UE 120 will perform one or more first measurements associated with a first measurement type. As described above, unless UE 120 has performed a fallback to the recording measurement procedure, UE 120 can maintain one or more uplink permissions with base station 110 (e.g., as indicated by the measurement configuration) while in idle mode or inactive state.

[0094] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 620 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can perform a first measurement. As described above, the first measurement value can be associated with an MDT. For example, the first measurement may include a measurement associated with the serving cell, a measurement associated with one or more neighboring cells, a measurement associated with an MBSFN, a measurement associated with a WLAN, a measurement associated with a Bluetooth connection, a measurement associated with the UE's location, a measurement associated with in-device coexistence, and / or other measurements.

[0095] As shown in conjunction with reference numerals 625a and 625b, UE 120 may periodically, and at least in part when UE 120 is in idle mode or inactive, transmit a first measurement based on a first measurement type indicated in the configuration information, and base station 110 may receive the first measurement. For example, UE 120 may transmit the first measurement using uplink permission (e.g., as described above in conjunction with reference numeral 610). Additionally, as shown in conjunction with reference numerals 625a and 625b, when one or more first measurements include measurements associated with multiple measurement types, UE 120 may use different uplink permissions corresponding to different measurement types. Therefore, base station 110 may receive the first measurement when UE 120 remains in idle mode or inactive.

[0096] In some aspects, UE 120 may stream the first measurement based on intervals. For example, base station 110 may have sent (e.g., in or separately from configuration information) the mdtStreamInterval variable in the MdtStreamConfiguration data structure, and UE 120 may have received the mdtStreamInterval variable. Although the description focuses on the mdtStreamInterval variable and the MdtStreamConfiguration data structure, this description similarly applies to other information included in similar data structures (e.g., as defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard). When base station 110 also configures additional measurement types, as described above, base station 110 may also indicate intervals for performing (but not streaming) one or more additional measurements associated with the additional measurement type. For example, base station 110 may have sent (e.g., in or separately from additional configuration information) the loggedgedInterval variable in the LoggedMeasurementConfiguration data structure, and UE 120 may have received the loggedgedInterval variable. Although the description focuses on the `loggedInterval` variable and the `LoggedMeasurementConfiguration` data structure, this description applies similarly to other information included in similar data structures (e.g., those defined by 3GPP specifications and / or another standard). In some aspects, the `loggedInterval` variable and the `mdtStreamInterval` variable may indicate the same interval or different intervals. In some aspects, when base station 110 is instructing UE 120 to perform a first measurement and an additional measurement during the same interval, base station 110 may send only one of the `loggedInterval` variable or the `mdtStreamInterval` variable.

[0097] As shown with reference to reference numeral 630 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 may transmit at least a portion of the first measurement to a portion of the core network supporting the base station. In some aspects, this portion of the core network may include a TCE. Base station 110 may stream the first measurement to the core network. In some aspects, when the first measurement includes measurements associated with multiple measurement types, base station 110 may transmit the measurements to different addresses (e.g., different IP addresses) at least in part based on the different measurement types. For example, base station 110 may map different measurement types to different addresses at least in part based on tracking parameters associated with the UE, the URI associated with the first measurement, and / or the HTTP addresses associated with different clients for the first measurement.

[0098] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 635 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 and base station 110 can re-enter the connected state. For example, UE 120 and base station 110 can re-establish an RRC connection.

[0099] As described above in conjunction with reference numeral 610, in some aspects, base station 110 may transmit additional configuration information associated with additional measurement types. Thus, as shown in conjunction with reference numeral 640, and after entering a connected state, UE 120 may transmit, and base station 110 may receive, an indication that a document is ready, which includes one or more second measurements based at least in part on one or more second measurement types (e.g., all or part of the additional measurement types).

[0100] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 645, base station 110 can send and UE 120 can receive requests for files. For example, base station 110 can send and UE 120 can receive UE Information Request messages, as defined in 3GPP specifications and / or another standard. In some aspects, base station 110 can send a request at least in part based on an indication received from UE 120 (e.g., as described above in conjunction with reference numeral 640). Alternatively, base station 110 can send a request at least in part based on UE 120 entering a connected state and without receiving an indication from UE 120.

[0101] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 650, after a duration associated with configuration information, UE 120 may send and base station 110 may receive a file, which includes a second measurement at least in part based on a second measurement type. For example, UE 120 may send and base station 110 may receive a UE Information Response message, as defined in 3GPP specifications and / or another standard. As described above in conjunction with reference numeral 635, base station 110 may receive the file while in a connected state with UE 120. Additionally, in some aspects, base station 110 may receive the file at least in part based on sending a request for the file to UE 120 (e.g., as described above in conjunction with reference numeral 645). Alternatively, UE 120 may send the file at least in part based on UE 120 entering a connected state and / or after sending an indication to base station 110 that the file is ready, and without receiving a request from base station 110.

[0102] In addition to sending a file, or as an alternative to sending a file (e.g., as described above in conjunction with reference numerals 640, 645, and 650), UE 120 may stream a second measurement to base station 110. For example, base station 110 may send, and UE 120 may receive, a request associated with a second measurement type (e.g., included in an additional measurement type). Thus, UE 120 may send the second measurement at least in part based on this request, and base station 110 may receive the second measurement. Therefore, UE 120 may stream the second measurement similarly to streaming the first measurement, but while in a connected state and at least in part on an on-demand basis rather than in real-time (e.g., periodically).

[0103] In some aspects, after receiving the second measurement, base station 110 may additionally send, and UE 120 may receive, another request associated with a third measurement type (e.g., included in an additional measurement type). Therefore, UE 120 may send one or more third measurements at least in part based on this request, and base station 110 may receive the one or more third measurements. Thus, UE 120 may stream the third measurement in a manner similar to streaming the second measurement. Although the above description focuses on streaming measurements for the second and third measurement types in a connected state, UE 120 may alternatively stream measurements for fewer measurement types (e.g., only the second measurement type) or for more measurement types (e.g., second measurement category, third measurement type, fourth measurement type, etc.) (e.g., as described above in conjunction with reference numeral 610) at least in part based on additional configuration information from base station 110.

[0104] By using combination Figure 6 According to the described technology, UE 120 can stream measurements (such as MDT measurements) to base station 110 while remaining in idle mode or inactive. Therefore, UE 120 can save power while still providing measurements to base station 110 faster and at a higher frequency. Additionally, in some aspects, base station 110 can stream measurements to the core network supporting base station 110, enabling the core network to receive measurements from base station 110 faster and at a higher frequency.

[0105] As pointed out above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 6 The example described.

[0106] Figure 7 This is a diagram illustrating an example process 700 performed by a UE, for example, according to this disclosure. Example process 700 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with periodic streaming of reports from the UE.

[0107] like Figure 7 As shown, in some aspects, process 700 may include receiving configuration information indicating one or more first measurement types from a base station (e.g., base station 110) (block 710). For example, a UE (e.g., using antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, controller / processor 280, and / or memory 282) may receive configuration information indicating one or more first measurement types from the base station, as described herein.

[0108] like Figure 7 As further shown, in some aspects, process 700 may include: periodically transmitting, and while in an idle mode or inactive state, a first measurement at least partially based on one or more first measurement types indicated in the configuration information to the base station (block 720). For example, the UE (e.g., using antenna 252, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, and / or memory 282) may periodically transmit, and while in an idle mode or inactive state, a first measurement at least partially based on one or more first measurement types indicated in the configuration information to the base station, as described herein.

[0109] Process 700 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination thereof described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other process descriptions elsewhere described herein.

[0110] In the first aspect, process 700 further includes sending at least one bit to a base station (e.g., using antenna 252, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280 and / or memory 282), the at least one bit indicating that the UE is capable of streaming the first measurement to the base station.
