Frequency-Specific VIL Settings for FR2-2 UE Measurement Gaps

The patent applies local quality by configuring different VIL values for different frequency ranges. Specifically, FR2-2 frequency range is assigned a longer VIL (e.g., 0.75ms) to accommodate its larger RF retuning time requirements, while other frequency ranges use shorter VIL values. This allows each frequency range to have optimized measurement parameters tailored to its specific RF characteristics, thereby improving measurement efficiency without unnecessarily complicating the overall system.

The patent changes the VIL parameter based on frequency range characteristics. By introducing frequency-range-specific VIL configurations (e.g., 0.5ms for FR1, 0.75ms for FR2-2), the system adapts the measurement gap parameters to match the RF retuning capabilities of different frequency bands. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction by optimizing measurement efficiency for each frequency range while maintaining a manageable configuration structure through standardized parameter sets.

The patent applies dynamics by making the VIL duration adaptive to the specific frequency range being measured. Instead of using a fixed extended gap for all frequencies, the system dynamically selects appropriate VIL values (e.g., 0.5ms or 0.75ms) based on the RF retuning requirements of each frequency range. This dynamic adjustment ensures sufficient time for SSB reception while minimizing the impact on data transmission opportunities, thereby balancing reliability and transmission duration.

The patent applies partial action by configuring VIL values that are sufficient but not excessive for each frequency range. Rather than uniformly extending the measurement gap beyond what is necessary, the system uses the minimum required VIL duration to ensure reliable SSB reception. This prevents unnecessary loss of data transmission time while still achieving the reliability goal for SSB measurements.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the frequency spectrum into distinct ranges (FR1, FR2-1, FR2-2) and assigning specific VIL configurations to each segment. This segmentation allows the system to enhance UE measurement capability by providing frequency-appropriate parameters while managing complexity through modular configuration. Each frequency range segment has its own optimized VIL settings, making the overall system adaptable without requiring complete reconfiguration for each frequency change.

The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional VIL configuration framework that serves multiple frequency ranges with a single standardized parameter set structure. The same configuration mechanism handles different frequency ranges by selecting from predefined VIL values, providing universal adaptability across FR1, FR2-1, and FR2-2. This approach enhances measurement capability across all frequencies while avoiding the complexity of entirely separate configuration systems for each band.
