Perception Based Reporting in Wireless Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems lack the ability to effectively exploit environment awareness for improved reporting, leading to limitations in perception sharing between user equipment (UE) and network nodes, which degrades performance.
Innovation Solution
The system enables UE and network nodes to transmit capability messages indicating perception capabilities, receive configurations for reporting perception information, and exchange environment awareness reports, allowing for improved perception-based reporting and network actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wireless communication systems use traditional reporting methods without perception sharing, then the system complexity remains low, but the network performance and environment awareness capability are degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The perception capability is segmented into individual UE capabilities that can be independently reported and configured. Each UE's perception capability is handled separately through capability messages and dedicated report configurations, allowing the network to selectively enable perception sharing only where needed rather than system-wide complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by having UEs report their perception capabilities in advance through capability messages. The network then pre-configures report configurations based on these capabilities before actual perception data exchange begins, preparing the system architecture ahead of time to avoid performance degradation
2Loss of information
If the system implements perception-based reporting with capability messages and environment awareness reports, then the environment awareness and reporting effectiveness are improved, but the signaling overhead and message exchange complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The capability message and report configuration framework serves multiple functions: it not only enables perception reporting but also provides a general mechanism for UE capability indication and network-controlled reporting configuration. This multi-functional approach consolidates signaling rather than creating separate dedicated protocols for each perception-related function
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements perception reporting partially by allowing the network to selectively configure which UEs report perception information and what specific perception parameters are reported. This partial implementation approach enables environment awareness where needed while avoiding the excessive signaling overhead of universal mandatory reporting across all UEs
3Productivity
If perception information is shared between UE and network nodes, then the beam switching and link adaptation performance are improved, but the processing requirements and computational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The UE performs self-service by autonomously measuring and reporting its own perception capabilities and environment awareness data. The network node similarly operates autonomously by receiving capability information and independently determining appropriate report configurations. This self-service approach distributes processing responsibilities rather than requiring complex centralized coordination, improving network efficiency while managing processing complexity

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability message indicating that the UE is capable of perception with respect to a surrounding environment. The UE may receive, based at least in part on the capability message, a configuration for reporting perception information. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the configuration, an environment awareness report that indicates the perception information. Numerous other aspects are described.
