AI Technical Summary
Existing solutions for early measurement reporting in LTE Release 15 are limited by the inability to utilize the msg3 solution in all scenarios due to coverage and congestion limitations, preventing efficient setup of Carrier Aggregation (CA) and Dual Connectivity (DC).
The network indicates to the UE the method for reporting early measurements, either via msg3 or msg5, based on explicit or implicit indications such as system information, RACH configuration, or RRC messages, allowing the UE to transmit early measurements during the transition to RRC_CONNECTED state.
This approach enables the network to quickly configure CA/DC by utilizing early measurements, reducing the Round Trip Time (RTT) and ensuring robust transmission even in challenging conditions.
