Dual-SIM MDT Measurement Sharing to Cut Network Signaling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In dual-card terminals, configuring minimization of drive-test (MDT) for two registered cells results in resource wastage due to duplicate configurations, increasing network signaling load.
Innovation Solution
A communications device with integrated UEs shares or exchanges MDT configuration information, allowing a single configuration to perform MDT measurements and record results for both UEs, reducing the need for duplicate configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If MDT configuration is performed for both UE 1 and UE 2 separately in a dual-card terminal, then measurement coverage is improved, but network signaling load increases and resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the MDT configuration process for UE 1 and UE 2 into a single unified configuration. The network device sends one MDT configuration message that contains measurement parameters applicable to both UEs, eliminating the need for separate configuration messages and reducing network signaling overhead while maintaining measurement coverage for both UEs
Solution Approach 2:
The MDT configuration message is designed with universal applicability, containing measurement parameters that can be simultaneously used by both UE 1 and UE 2. This multi-functional configuration approach allows a single configuration to serve multiple UEs, optimizing resource utilization and reducing redundant signaling
2Measurement precision
If MDT configuration is performed for both UE 1 and UE 2 separately in a dual-card terminal, then measurement accuracy is maintained, but resource utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the MDT measurement configuration for both UEs into a single operational framework. Both UE 1 and UE 2 execute the same measurement parameters and reporting requirements through one unified configuration, ensuring measurement accuracy is maintained while eliminating redundant configuration processing and improving overall system resource utilization
