Radio Base Station Frequency Object Grouping for Wireless Measurement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In current wireless networks, terminal devices independently determine measurement opportunities for frequency/cell objects, leading to inefficient use of measurement resources as they prioritize tasks based on their own criteria, potentially neglecting stricter Quality of Service (QoS) and Key Performance Index (KPI) requirements.
Innovation Solution
A method where a Radio Base Station (RBS) classifies frequency objects into groups with assigned measurement weights, sending indications to the terminal device to determine measurement opportunities based on QoS and KPI requirements, allowing for intra-task and inter-task coordination by preempting old tasks when necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal device independently determines measurement opportunities for frequency/cell objects, then the terminal device can autonomously manage measurement tasks, but the measurement resources are used inefficiently and QoS/KPI requirements may not be met
Solution Approach 1:
The RBS provides feedback to the terminal device about measurement task priorities and QoS/KPI requirements through indication information. The terminal device uses this feedback to adjust its measurement opportunity determination, ensuring that high-priority tasks with strict requirements are measured preferentially while improving overall resource efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device prioritizes measurement tasks based on its own criteria, then the terminal device can make decisions based on local needs, but measurement tasks with stricter QoS/KPI requirements may be neglected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments measurement tasks into different priority levels based on QoS/KPI requirements. The RBS classifies frequency/cell objects into groups and assigns priorities, allowing the terminal device to handle different measurement tasks differently according to their importance and requirements, thus satisfying both local needs and network-level QoS guarantees.
3Productivity
If frequency/cell objects are measured without coordinated prioritization, then all objects can be measured equally, but measurement resources are wasted and task requirements are not met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by measuring only the necessary portion of frequency/cell objects based on priority and requirements. Instead of measuring all objects equally, the system measures high-priority objects more frequently and low-priority objects less frequently or not at all, optimizing resource consumption while ensuring task completion for critical measurements.

AI summary
Methods in a Radio Base Station (RBS) and in a terminal device for facilitating measurement at the terminal device are described. The method in the RBS comprises classifying frequency objects to be measured for a measurement task into a number of frequency object groups assigned with respective frequency measurement weights for determining measurement opportunities for the frequency objects; sending to the terminal device a first indication indicating the classification of the frequency objects into the frequency object groups. The method in the terminal device comprises receiving, from a RBS, a first indication indicating a classification of frequency objects to be measured for a measurement task into a number of frequency object groups assigned with respective frequency measurement weights; determining measurement opportunities for the frequency objects of the measurement task based on the frequency measurement weights.
