Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in maintaining quality of service during measurement gaps, leading to potential violations due to blocked reference signals and disrupted data transmission, particularly in time-sensitive communication scenarios.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that identifies potential quality of service violations during measurement gaps and configures alternative radio resource allocation patterns to ensure uninterrupted data transmission and neighbor cell measurements.

1Productivity
If a first radio resource allocation pattern is utilized by the terminal device, then data transmission is enabled, but quality of service violation may occur during measurement gap due to blocked reference signals
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between a first radio resource allocation pattern (for data transmission) and a second radio resource allocation pattern (for measurement gap). The access node configures the terminal device with multiple allocation patterns and activates the appropriate one based on whether a measurement gap is occurring, enabling adaptive resource allocation that maintains QoS while allowing measurements
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the radio resource allocation pattern parameter from a static configuration to a dynamic one that varies based on measurement gap status. By modifying the allocation pattern timing and resource assignments according to whether the terminal is in data transmission mode or measurement mode, the system resolves the conflict between maintaining continuous data transmission and performing measurements without QoS violations
2Adaptability or versatility
If measurement gap is implemented for neighbor cell measurements, then network mobility is enabled, but reference signals are blocked and quality of service is violated
Solution Approach 1:
The radio resources are segmented into distinct allocation patterns: one optimized for data transmission and another optimized for measurement activities. The terminal device switches between these segmented resource allocations based on operational mode, allowing measurement gaps to occur without impacting data transmission QoS since different resource patterns are used for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically transitions between different radio resource allocation patterns depending on whether the terminal needs to perform measurements or transmit data. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain network mobility capabilities through measurement gaps while preserving QoS by ensuring data transmission resources are properly allocated during non-measurement periods
