Modifying Measurement Signals for Network Handover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network handover methods in communication technology fail to efficiently switch user equipment to a network with lower power consumption when the signal of a neighbor cell does not meet the threshold for measurement report events, leading to excessive power consumption and reduced device usage duration.
Innovation Solution
The method involves determining whether a set of event types includes specific event types associated with network handover, modifying measurement signals to trigger these events if they do not initially meet the threshold, and transmitting modified measurement reports to the base station to prompt network handover, thereby enabling the electronic device to switch to a network with lower power consumption.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user equipment transmits a measurement report only when the measured signal meets the threshold of the measurement report event, then the network handover judgment accuracy is improved, but the power consumption increases and usage duration decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The user equipment performs signal measurement and evaluation in advance according to configuration information from the base station. When a neighbor cell signal meets the handover threshold, the device proactively generates and transmits a measurement report to the base station before handover is triggered, enabling the base station to make handover decisions based on pre-collected measurement data rather than waiting for threshold-based events
Solution Approach 2:
The base station sends measurement configuration information to the user equipment, and the user equipment feeds back measurement results to the base station. This feedback mechanism allows the base station to continuously monitor signal conditions and make informed handover decisions based on the feedbacked measurement data, optimizing the balance between handover accuracy and power consumption
2Duration of action of moving object
If the user equipment switches to a network with lower power consumption, then the usage duration is extended, but the handover cannot be triggered when the neighbor cell signal does not meet the threshold
Solution Approach 1:
The user equipment continuously measures and evaluates neighbor cell signals in advance according to configuration information. When a neighbor cell signal meets the handover threshold, the device proactively generates a measurement report to trigger handover to a lower power consumption network, extending usage duration while maintaining handover capability
Solution Approach 2:
The handover threshold and measurement configuration parameters are dynamically adjusted based on device state (such as power consumption level) and signal conditions. This allows the device to adaptively switch networks by changing the parameters that govern handover decisions, enabling transitions to lower power consumption networks even when traditional threshold-based triggering would prevent it
