Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current 3GPP standards face complexity and inefficiency in managing measurement gaps, leading to unnecessary interruptions in data transmission and suboptimal network performance due to frequent changes in gap configurations and lack of dynamic gap selection based on UE capabilities and conditions.
Innovation Solution
Introduce a unified and dynamic measurement gap configuration framework that allows for real-time adaptation and prioritization of measurement gaps based on UE capabilities, operational conditions, and service requirements, enabling seamless communication and efficient measurement operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If measurement gap configurations are frequently changed to adapt to different UE capabilities and conditions, then measurement accuracy and network performance are improved, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic measurement gap configuration where the network can adjust gap patterns, durations, and frequencies based on real-time UE capabilities, operational conditions, and service requirements. This allows the system to adapt measurement parameters dynamically rather than using static configurations, resolving the contradiction by making the system flexible enough to maintain accuracy without requiring excessive manual complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes multiple parameters including gap pattern indices, gap durations, gap frequencies, and prioritization levels based on UE capabilities and network conditions. By systematically varying these parameters according to defined criteria, the patent achieves high measurement accuracy across different scenarios while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured parameter management
2Measurement precision
If measurement gaps are extended or increased in frequency to improve measurement coverage, then measurement completeness is improved, but data transmission interruptions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts measurement gap duration and frequency based on UE capabilities, mobility conditions, and current data transmission requirements. When data transmission priority is high, the system reduces gap frequency or duration; when measurement coverage is critical, it increases them. This dynamic balancing resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize for either measurement or transmission depending on real-time needs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different measurement gap configurations to different UEs based on their specific capabilities and conditions. Rather than using a uniform gap pattern for all UEs, the system tailors gap parameters locally to each UE's requirements, allowing some UEs to have extended gaps for comprehensive measurement while others experience minimal interruptions for data transmission
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple measurement gap configurations are maintained for different scenarios, then adaptability to various UE conditions is improved, but configuration management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal measurement gap configuration framework that can serve multiple UE types and scenarios through a standardized set of configurable parameters. By defining a comprehensive but structured configuration system with priority levels and capability-based selection, the patent enables one framework to handle diverse scenarios without requiring separate management for each case, thus maintaining ease of operation while achieving high adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent manages multiple configurations by systematically varying key parameters such as gap pattern indices, durations, frequencies, and prioritization levels based on UE capabilities and conditions. This structured parameter-based approach allows the system to maintain multiple adaptive configurations while simplifying management through parameterized templates rather than individual custom configurations for each scenario
