Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication scenarios, there is no defined sharing rule for resources between cell global identity (CGI) reading and terminal measurements, leading to potential overlaps and inefficiencies.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for determining a resource sharing manner between CGI reading and terminal measurements by using control parameters such as frequency range, time range, and specified measurement types to manage overlapping resources effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the terminal device performs CGI reading and measurement simultaneously, then the communication system can obtain cell identity information and measurement data, but the reading resource of CGI reading overlaps with the measurement resource causing resource conflict and inefficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCGI reading completenessVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the overlapped resource into multiple portions and allocates different portions to CGI reading and measurement respectively. The terminal device determines a resource sharing manner that divides the time-frequency resource, allowing both CGI reading and measurement to occur simultaneously on different segments of the overlapped resource, thereby eliminating resource conflict while maintaining both functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the terminal device prioritizes CGI reading, then the cell identity information can be obtained, but the measurement resource is insufficient leading to measurement performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCGI reading reliabilityVSAvoidmeasurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different quality levels for different parts of the overlapped resource. Through the resource sharing manner, certain portions are allocated with higher priority to CGI reading while other portions maintain measurement priority, ensuring both CGI reading reliability and measurement precision are maintained in their respective allocated resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If the terminal device prioritizes measurement, then the measurement data can be collected, but the CGI reading resource is insufficient leading to reading failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoidCGI reading success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent ensures that within the overlapped resource, specific portions are designated with CGI reading priority to guarantee reading success, while other portions maintain measurement priority. This local differentiation of resource quality ensures both measurement accuracy and CGI reading success rate are maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Ease of operation

If the terminal device uses separate resources for CGI reading and measurement, then resource conflict is avoided, but the overall resource utilization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management simplicityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the resource allocation of CGI reading and measurement by allowing them to share the overlapped resource through a determined resource sharing manner. Instead of allocating completely separate resources, the system combines both functions in the overlapped resource with clear division rules, achieving high resource utilization while maintaining operational simplicity through standardized sharing protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

This application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies. The method includes: A terminal device receives a CGI reading command sent by a network device, and determines, based on a control parameter, a resource sharing manner of first measurement and CGI reading on an overlapped resource between a measurement resource of the first measurement and a reading resource of the CGI reading, where the control parameter is a parameter indicating that the first measurement and the CGI reading perform resource sharing on the overlapped resource. The terminal device performs the first measurement and the CGI reading in the determined resource sharing manner.
