Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional QoE measurement reporting methods are used in 5G systems, then basic measurement functionality is provided, but reporting efficiency and network resource utilization are insufficient for enhanced services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments QoE measurement reporting into multiple independent measurement objects, each with its own measurement identifier (measObjectId). This allows the network to configure and report measurements in a modular fashion, improving reporting efficiency while managing complexity through structured organization of measurement data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional structure by defining measurement objects with multiple attributes (measObjectId, measType, reportConfig) and organizing them within measurement containers. This multi-dimensional organization enables more efficient reporting structures that can handle enhanced 5G services without proportionally increasing complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple measurement configurations are supported for enhanced services, then service capability is improved, but signaling overhead and processing burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal measurement object structures that can accommodate multiple measurement types (RRC, application layer, etc.) through a common framework. The measurement container and report configuration structures serve multiple purposes across different service types, reducing the need for separate signaling for each measurement scenario and thereby reducing overall signaling overhead
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter-based configuration where measurement objects are defined by configurable parameters (measObjectId, measType, reportConfig) rather than hard-coded structures. This allows flexible adaptation to different service requirements through parameter changes rather than structural changes, minimizing signaling overhead while maintaining versatility
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information on an application layer measurement, for each application layer measurement configuration identifier (ID), setting an application layer measurement report entry in an application layer measurement report message, based on the configuration information, and transmitting, to the base station, the application layer measurement report message. The application layer measurement report message includes a plurality of application layer measurement configuration IDs and a plurality of application layer measurement report entries associated with the plurality of application layer measurement configuration IDs.
