NR Measurement Configuration Bandwidth Location

The patent applies local quality by specifying the measurement bandwidth and its location on the carrier in the measurement configuration. Instead of uniform measurement across the entire carrier, the configuration identifies a particular bandwidth portion (e.g., specific resource blocks) where measurements should be performed. This localized measurement approach improves measurement precision for critical bandwidth regions while avoiding unnecessary measurements elsewhere, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity.

The patent extracts the essential measurement information by identifying and configuring only the specific bandwidth portion that is critical for system capacity assessment. Instead of requiring measurements across the entire carrier bandwidth, the measurement configuration extracts and specifies only the relevant bandwidth segments (e.g., resource blocks carrying critical reference signals). This extraction approach enables effective system capacity monitoring while reducing device complexity and processing requirements.

The patent applies partial action by providing measurement configuration information that is sufficient for accurate measurements without being excessive. The measurement configuration specifies the necessary bandwidth and location details (such as resource block assignments and carrier frequencies) required to achieve measurement accuracy, but does not include redundant or overly detailed information. This partial information approach achieves the needed measurement precision while minimizing signaling overhead in the RRC messages.
