Cross-Link Interference Measurement Activity During Network Entity Inactivity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in managing cross-link interference (CLI) measurements during network entity inactivity periods, leading to unnecessary resource consumption and potential interference.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for wireless communication that allow user equipment (UE) and network entities to receive messages regarding CLI measurements during inactivity periods, enabling the pause or continuation of CLI measurement activity based on these messages, thereby optimizing resource usage and reducing interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If CLI measurements are continuously performed during network entity inactivity periods, then measurement precision is maintained, but energy consumption increases and resource efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by configuring the UE to perform CLI measurements only during specific periodic intervals (active periods) rather than continuously. The network entity configures measurement windows and the UE suspends measurements during inactivity periods, resuming only when scheduled. This periodic measurement approach maintains measurement precision when needed while significantly reducing energy consumption during inactive periods when measurements would be redundant.
2Use of energy by moving object
If CLI measurements are paused during network entity inactivity periods, then energy consumption is reduced, but measurement precision may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the network entity monitors CLI conditions and dynamically configures measurement opportunities. Based on feedback about actual CLI conditions and network activity patterns, the network entity adjusts the timing and frequency of measurement windows. This feedback loop ensures that measurements are performed with sufficient precision when CLI issues are detected or likely to occur, while allowing energy savings during periods when CLI is not a concern.
3Reliability
If CLI measurements are performed continuously, then interference mitigation is maintained, but resource efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the CLI measurement schedule adaptive rather than static. The measurement configuration is dynamically adjusted based on network conditions, traffic patterns, and detected CLI issues. The network entity can activate or deactivate measurement windows, adjust their timing and duration, and modify measurement parameters in response to changing conditions. This dynamic approach maintains reliable CLI mitigation when needed while optimizing resource efficiency by eliminating redundant measurements during stable periods.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a message associated with cross-link interference (CLI) measurements during an inactivity period of a network entity. The UE may pause or continue CLI measurement activity during the inactivity period based at least in part on the message. Numerous other aspects are described.
