5G Measurement GAP Scheduling to Reduce Resource Occupation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The high resource occupation of measurement gaps (GAPs) in communication systems, such as 5G, due to dense configuration by network devices, leading to inefficient use of communication resources.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device determines N second GAP occasions from M first GAP occasions configured by a network device, where M > N, and stops receiving signals on these occasions to reduce resource occupation, using configuration information based on identifiers and measurement periodicity to select optimal GAPs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the network device configures dense measurement GAP occasions to ensure measurement coverage, then measurement reliability is improved, but resource occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement GAP occasions by dividing them into multiple groups (first GAP occasions and second GAP occasions) and applies different reception strategies to different segments. The terminal device receives signals on first GAP occasions while stopping reception on second GAP occasions, thereby segmenting the resource usage to reduce overall occupation while maintaining measurement capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by making the GAP occasion reception behavior terminal-specific. Each terminal device determines its own second GAP occasions based on its identifier and measurement periodicity requirements. This allows different terminals to have different reception patterns, optimizing resource usage locally for each terminal while maintaining overall measurement reliability.
2Quantity of substance
If the terminal device stops receiving signals on N second GAP occasions to reduce resource occupation, then resource utilization is improved, but measurement precision may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by configuring the terminal device to stop receiving signals only on specific periodic GAP occasions (second GAP occasions) rather than continuously. The terminal device determines which GAP occasions to skip based on its identifier and measurement periodicity, creating a periodic pattern of signal reception that reduces resource occupation while maintaining measurement precision through periodic measurements.
Data Source
AI summary
A data transmission method, an apparatus, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: A first terminal device and a first network device determine N second gap (GAP) occasions based on M first GAP occasions, where the M first GAP occasions include the N second GAP occasions, the M first GAP occasions are periodic time domain positions that are of a first GAP and that are configured by a first network device, M is greater than N, and both M and N are positive integers. A first signal is not transmitted between the first terminal device and a second network device on the N second GAP occasions, to prevent all the configured M first GAP occasions from taking effect on the first terminal device, which results in the first GAP occupying a large quantity of resources, and therefore to reduce resource occupation of the GAP.
