AI Technical Summary
Existing wireless communication technologies face challenges in enabling efficient intra-band inter-frequency measurements due to interference between serving and target cells, particularly in frequency range 2 (FR2), where UEs cannot simultaneously receive data from the serving cell and measure target cell SSBs using common beam management, leading to reduced throughput.
The solution involves deriving synchronization signal block (SSB) indexes of a target cell from the timing of a serving cell, allowing network-configured small gaps (NCSGs) to enable simultaneous data reception and measurement by using a spare receive chain, with scheduling adjustments to avoid overlapping symbols.
This approach enhances throughput by allowing data transmission and reception during non-overlapping symbols, achieving significant gains compared to previous techniques that require complete suspension of communication during measurement windows.
