Channel Measurement Resource Control via Independent Activation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current channel measurement methods in radio access technology, such as LTE/LTE-A, result in resource wastage due to the binding control of measurement reports and resources, leading to inconsistent activation and deactivation states between measurement resources and reports.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for separately controlling channel measurement resources and reports, allowing for independent activation, deactivation, and pause operations, ensuring that resources are only allocated and used when necessary, and maintaining consistent states between measurement resources and reports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If measurement reports and measurement resources are bound together for control, then the control mechanism is simple, but resource waste occurs when measurement resources are activated but reports are not reported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control of measurement reports and measurement resources by introducing separate control mechanisms. Measurement report activation/deactivation is controlled independently through MAC CE or DCI formats, while measurement resource activation/deactivation is controlled through RRC configuration. This segmentation allows the system to avoid the resource waste that occurs when reports and resources are bound together, while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized control procedures.
2Loss of energy
If measurement reports are deactivated when not needed, then resource efficiency improves, but the binding control mechanism becomes insufficient to handle independent report and resource states
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary control mechanism (MAC CE and DCI formats) that mediates between the measurement resources and measurement reports. This intermediary allows independent control of report activation/deactivation without requiring changes to the underlying resource configuration, enabling resource efficiency improvements while maintaining control mechanism sufficiency through standardized intermediary protocols.
3Loss of energy
If semi-continuous CSI-RS measurement reports are introduced with independent control, then resource waste is reduced, but the control and signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves multi-functionality in the control mechanisms by designing MAC CE and DCI formats that can control both measurement report activation/deactivation and semi-continuous CSI-RS measurement reports. This universal control approach reduces resource waste by enabling independent report control while minimizing signaling overhead through multi-purpose control structures that handle multiple functions within standardized protocol frameworks.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a channel measurement processing method and a channel measurement processing device. The method includes: receiving a channel measurement command sent by a base station; parsing the channel measurement command according to a preset rule to obtain an operation object and an operation type of the channel measurement command; where the operation object of the channel measurement command is a measurement resource or a measurement report; and, executing a first operation, corresponding to the operation type, on the measurement resource, and/or, executing a second operation, corresponding to the operation type, on the measurement report.
