Radio Signal Measurement Reporting via Joint Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio signal measurement reporting methods, such as single mapping approaches, are limited in granularity and range, restricting the accuracy and flexibility of measurement reporting in applications like positioning and radio resource management.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a joint mapping approach that dynamically maps different possible values for multiple reporting variables to enhance the granularity and range of radio signal measurement reporting, allowing for adaptive resolution and extended value representation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a single mapping approach is used to report radio signal measurement results, then the reporting process is simple, but the granularity and resolution of measurement reporting are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the measurement reporting into multiple reporting variables (e.g., primary reporting variable and secondary reporting variable) instead of using a single reporting variable. This segmentation allows each variable to represent different aspects or ranges of the measurement result, thereby increasing the overall granularity and resolution of the reported measurement without requiring an overly complex single-variable mapping system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional single reporting variable to a multi-dimensional joint mapping approach using multiple reporting variables. By adding dimensions (additional reporting variables), the system can represent measurement results with higher precision and broader range, effectively moving from a limited single-axis representation to a more comprehensive multi-axis representation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single mapping approach is used to report radio signal measurement results, then the reporting structure is simple, but the range of reportable values is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the value range representation across multiple reporting variables, where each variable can independently represent different ranges or aspects of the measurement. This allows the system to adapt to a broader spectrum of measurement values without requiring a single, overly complex mapping structure that would need to cover all possible ranges simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic joint mapping approach where the selection and combination of reporting variables can adapt based on the measurement context, range requirements, and precision needs. This dynamic flexibility allows the system to optimize the use of available reporting variables for different measurement scenarios, enhancing adaptability without maintaining a static, overly complex structure for all cases.
3Measurement precision
If multiple reporting variables are used in joint mapping, then the measurement reporting precision increases, but the signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively using only the necessary number of reporting variables based on the specific measurement requirements. Instead of always transmitting all possible reporting variables, the system uses only enough variables to achieve the required precision and range for each measurement scenario, thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining adequate measurement reporting quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of the reporting system by allowing dynamic selection of which reporting variables to use and how to combine them. By adjusting the parameters (which variables are active, their weighting, their combination method), the system can optimize the balance between measurement precision and signaling overhead for different operational conditions, rather than being fixed at a single high-precision configuration.

AI summary
A reporting node is configured to report the result of a radio signal measurement to a recipient node. The reporting node in this regard is configured to obtain the result as well as a joint mapping in which different possible values for a first reporting variable and different possible values for a second reporting variable are jointly mapped to different possible values for the result. The reporting node is configured to map the result to multiple reported values that jointly represent that result, using the obtained joint mapping. The multiple reported values include one of the different possible values for the first reporting variable and one of the different possible values for the second reporting variable. The reporting node is configured to report the result of the radio signal measurement to the recipient node by sending the multiple reported values from the reporting node to the recipient node.
