Cell Selection Offset Values for Non-Public Network Camping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The efficiency of determining the appropriate cell for a terminal to camp on is low due to the inability of terminal devices to differentiate between public and non-public network cells, leading to suboptimal service transmission in communication systems.
Innovation Solution
Introducing measurement result offset values to optimize cell measurement results, allowing terminals to preferentially camp on non-public or public network cells based on configuration information and priority indications, thereby improving cell selection efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If terminal devices use traditional cell selection methods without network type differentiation, then the cell selection process is simple, but the efficiency of determining the appropriate cell for camping is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces measurement result offset values as a new parameter to modify cell measurement results. By adjusting the measurement results of non-public network cells through offset values, the terminal can differentiate between public and non-public networks and make more efficient cell selection decisions, thereby improving cell selection efficiency without significantly increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses measurement result offset values as an intermediary mechanism to bridge the terminal and network. These offset values are provided by the network and applied by the terminal to adjust measurement results, enabling the terminal to indirectly differentiate between network types and optimize cell selection without requiring complex direct differentiation mechanisms
2Adaptability or versatility
If terminal devices support both public and non-public networks, then the terminal has greater network adaptability, but the terminal may select public network cells instead of non-public network cells, reducing service quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies measurement result offset values to adjust the measurement results of non-public network cells. By setting appropriate offset values, the terminal can enhance the measurement results of non-public network cells relative to public network cells, ensuring that terminals with dual network support preferentially select non-public network cells for camping, thus maintaining both adaptability and service quality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different measurement result offset values to different network types (public and non-public networks). This local differentiation allows the terminal to treat non-public network cells differently from public network cells in the measurement and selection process, ensuring that non-public network cells receive appropriate preference when available, thereby maintaining service quality while preserving network adaptability
3Speed
If the terminal device camp on non-public network cells, then the communication speed is faster due to less competition, but the terminal may incorrectly select non-public network cells when it should camp on public network cells
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces measurement result offset values that can be positively or negatively adjusted based on network type. By carefully selecting the offset values, the terminal can enhance the measurement results of non-public network cells to achieve faster communication speeds while avoiding incorrect selections. The offset values are designed to reflect the actual service quality and network characteristics, ensuring accurate cell measurement and selection
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal uses measurement result offset values to adjust and refine its cell selection decisions. The terminal continuously monitors the network environment and uses the offset values to feedback-adjust its measurement results, ensuring that it selects the most appropriate cell (public or non-public) based on current conditions, thereby maintaining both speed and measurement accuracy

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to communication methods and apparatus. On one example method, a terminal device obtains measurement results of N cells, where the N cells include M non-public network cells, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and where M is an integer greater than or equal to 0. The terminal device determines, based on the measurement results of the N cells and measurement result offset values corresponding to H first cells in the N cells, a target cell on which the terminal device is to camp, where H is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and where H≤N.
