Communication Control Apparatus Measurement Load Suppression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, terminal devices face increased measurement load when performing measurements in both predetermined bandwidths and remaining bands, leading to inefficient resource utilization and higher power consumption.
Innovation Solution
The system controls the execution of measurements by the terminal device in extension bands, allowing it to omit unnecessary measurements and prioritize measurements in allocated frequency bands, thereby reducing the measurement load and power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device executes measurement in both predetermined bandwidths and remaining bands, then the utilization of allocated frequency bands is improved, but the measurement load on the terminal device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement process by dividing frequency bands into predetermined bandwidths (standardized bands) and remaining bands (non-standardized bands). The terminal device is configured to perform measurements only in the predetermined bandwidths, while the base station handles utilization of the remaining bands through carrier aggregation or other mechanisms. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing full utilization of all allocated frequency bands while keeping the terminal's measurement load manageable and standardized.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device executes measurement in both predetermined bandwidths and remaining bands, then the utilization of allocated frequency bands is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement responsibilities between terminal device and base station. The terminal device performs measurements only in predetermined standardized bandwidths where it needs to operate, while the base station utilizes remaining non-standardized bands for additional capacity through carrier aggregation. This segmentation reduces terminal power consumption by eliminating unnecessary measurements in remaining bands while still achieving full frequency band utilization through base station-controlled resource allocation.
3Area of stationary object
If the terminal device executes measurement in a wider band including remaining bands, then the available bandwidth for communication is improved, but the measurement load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the frequency spectrum into measurement bands (predetermined standardized bandwidths) and non-measurement bands (remaining bands). The terminal device is configured to measure only in the predetermined bandwidths, while the base station aggregates carriers from both predetermined and remaining bands to provide wider available bandwidth. This segmentation allows the system to achieve wider available bandwidth through carrier aggregation while keeping the terminal's measurement load confined to standardized, manageable bandwidths.
