Innovation Solution

A measurement feedback processing method and apparatus that includes sending and receiving first information to determine association information of measurement reports, which includes measurement feedback function information, a first quantity, and a second quantity, to clarify the type and quantity of target information, such as reference signal and channel quality information, ensuring accurate interpretation by the network side device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AI model is introduced for beam prediction with multiple measurement report types, then beam prediction capability is improved, but network side device interpretation accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam prediction capabilityVSAvoidinterpretation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the measurement report structure by introducing distinct report types (normal, prediction, enhanced) with specific identification mechanisms. Each report type has defined characteristics regarding quantity of target information, allowing the network side device to accurately identify and interpret the appropriate report format based on the report type indicator.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (report type indicator and quantity information) that mediates between the terminal's diverse measurement reports and the network side device's interpretation requirements. This intermediary layer enables accurate mapping between different report types and their corresponding information quantities, resolving the interpretation ambiguity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If quantity of target information varies with measurement report type, then measurement report flexibility is improved, but network side device understanding accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement report flexibilityVSAvoidunderstanding accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic measurement report structures where the quantity of target information adapts based on the report type. The network side device receives dynamic information about the quantity of target information along with each report, enabling accurate interpretation despite varying information quantities across different report types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters (report type indicator, quantity of target information) to enable the network side device to accurately interpret measurement reports with varying information quantities. By explicitly signaling these parameters, the system maintains both flexibility in report content and accuracy in interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
