Pre-configured Measurement Gap Testing Procedure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication testing procedures are inefficient as they require separate test cases for pre-configured measurement gap (pre-MG) activation/deactivation and intra-frequency measurement with gap, leading to increased complexity and time.
Innovation Solution
A testing procedure that combines the evaluation of pre-MG activation/deactivation delay and measurement reporting into three successive time periods, allowing for the simultaneous testing of pre-MG core requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate test cases are used for pre-MG activation/deactivation and intra-frequency measurement with gap, then each test case can be designed independently, but the number of test cases increases and testing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines pre-MG activation/deactivation testing and intra-frequency measurement testing into a single integrated test case. The test procedure simultaneously evaluates both the activation/deactivation delay performance and the measurement reporting with gap requirements by configuring the UE to perform measurements during pre-MG active periods while tracking activation timing, thereby reducing the total number of test cases without sacrificing either test's measurement precision or adaptability
2Reliability
If separate test cases are used for pre-MG activation/deactivation and intra-frequency measurement with gap, then each function can be tested thoroughly, but the testing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two separate testing sequences into one concurrent test execution. The test procedure defines three time periods where the UE is configured to measure reference signals during pre-MG active periods while the network controls activation timing. This allows both activation/deactivation delay verification and measurement reporting verification to occur simultaneously, reducing total testing time while maintaining thorough verification of both functions through coordinated timing control and measurement collection
3Measurement precision
If multiple separate test cases are used, then detailed evaluation of each requirement is possible, but the testing process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple requirement evaluations into a single test case that measures both activation/deactivation delay and measurement reporting performance simultaneously. The test procedure uses coordinated timing control where the network activates/deactivates pre-MG at specific moments and the UE reports measurements at defined intervals, allowing precise measurement of both requirements through one integrated procedure that improves testing efficiency without sacrificing measurement precision

AI summary
Various embodiments herein provide techniques related to measurements in a testing scenario by a user equipment (UE) that is configured to use a pre-configured measurement gap (pre-MG). In embodiments, the UE may be configured to perform one or more measurements with the pre-MG disabled. The pre-MG may then be enabled and the UE may perform additional measurements. In this way, a plurality of parameters related to the UE and/or the pre-MG may be identified based on the testing scenario. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
