Network Node Serving Cell Measurement Configuration

The patent segments the reference signal configuration by separating serving cell measurements from non-serving cell measurements. For serving cells (PCell and SCell), the UE uses the same reference signal type (CSI-RS or SSB) as configured by the network, rather than evaluating multiple signal types. This segmentation simplifies the configuration while maintaining measurement accuracy by focusing on the most relevant reference signals for each cell type.

The patent applies partial action by not requiring full evaluation of all reference signal types for serving cells. Instead of configuring multiple reference signal types for serving cell measurements, the system uses a subset (one type per cell) which is sufficient for accurate cell quality evaluation, thereby reducing configuration complexity and processing overhead.

The patent extracts and removes the requirement to monitor multiple reference signal types for serving cells. By taking out the excessive monitoring requirement and keeping only the essential single reference signal type per serving cell, the system maintains reliable cell suitability determination while significantly reducing processing energy consumption.

The system performs partial monitoring by evaluating only one reference signal type per serving cell rather than all available types. This partial action approach provides sufficient information for cell suitability determination without the excessive processing energy cost of monitoring all reference signal types.
