Beam Management Reporting With Aligned RSRP and SINR Payloads
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for reporting beam management measurements in wireless communications systems are deficient, as they do not support transmitting different reporting quantity types, such as RSRP and SINR, in the same report, leading to increased latency and overhead.
Innovation Solution
A UE is configured to align payload sizes of different reporting quantity types by adjusting the payload sizes of RSRP and SINR measurements to ensure they are the same within a single report, allowing simultaneous reporting of multiple quantity types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional techniques are used to report beam management measurements, then the system can report measurements, but it cannot transmit different reporting quantity types (e.g., RSRP and SINR) in the same report, resulting in increased signaling overhead and latency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple reporting quantity types (RSRP and SINR) into a single measurement report by aligning their payload sizes. The UE determines a common payload size that accommodates both quantity types and pads smaller payloads to match the larger one, enabling both RSRP and SINR to be transmitted together in one report instead of separate reports, thereby reducing latency and signaling overhead
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional techniques are used to report beam management measurements, then the system can report measurements, but it results in increased signaling overhead when reporting multiple quantity types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple measurement reports into a single report by aligning payload sizes. The UE calculates the payload size for each reporting quantity type and determines a common payload size that accommodates all quantity types. Smaller payloads are padded with zeros to match the common size, allowing RSRP and SINR to be transmitted in one consolidated report, thereby reducing total signaling overhead
3Adaptability or versatility
If the UE transmits measurement reports with different payload sizes for different reporting quantity types, then the report can accommodate all quantity types, but the payload alignment becomes complex and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the payload size parameter to a unified common payload size that accommodates all reporting quantity types. The UE determines the payload size for each quantity type (RSRP and SINR) and selects a common size that is sufficient for all types. This parameter unification simplifies the reporting mechanism by eliminating the need for complex payload alignment and handling different payload sizes in the same report

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a configuration message indicating a first reporting quantity type and a second reporting quantity type for generating a measurement report. The UE may determine a measurement payload size to use for generating a measurement payload for the first reporting quantity type and the second reporting quantity type. The UE may measure a first set of resources in accordance with the first reporting quantity type and a second set of resources in accordance with the second reporting quantity type. The UE may transmit, to the base station, the measurement report including a first measurement payload having the measurement payload size for the first reporting quantity type and a second measurement payload having the measurement payload size for the second reporting quantity type.
