Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in MDTs, duplicate log information is stored and reported by user equipment, leading to inefficient use of memory and wireless resources, as measurements are logged irrespective of their necessity.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that selectively logs and reports measurement data in a wireless communication system, where each log entry includes only meaningful or necessary information for the network, reducing unnecessary logging and resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a user equipment performs logging irrespective of whether the measured information is essential, then comprehensive measurement data is collected, but the size of the logged measurement increases and wireless resources are inefficiently used

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive measurement data collectionVSAvoidsize of logged measurement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes duplicate and unnecessary measurement information from the logged data. The network configures the user equipment to perform selective logging based on whether the measured information is essential, thereby extracting only the necessary measurement data and eliminating redundant information that would otherwise increase log size and consume wireless resources inefficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If a user equipment performs logging irrespective of whether the measured information is essential, then comprehensive measurement data is collected, but memory usage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive measurement data collectionVSAvoidmemory usage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies extraction by removing duplicate and unnecessary measurement information from the logged data. The network configures the user equipment to perform selective logging based on whether the measured information is essential, thereby extracting only the necessary measurement data and eliminating redundant information that would otherwise increase memory usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If duplicate log information is included in the log stored in the user equipment, then all measurement instances are recorded, but wireless resources used for reporting increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement recording completenessVSAvoidwireless resources for reporting
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes duplicate measurement information from the logged data before reporting. The network configures the user equipment to perform selective logging based on whether the measured information is essential, thereby extracting only the necessary measurement data and eliminating redundant information that would otherwise consume wireless resources during reporting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Reliability

If duplicate log information is included in the log stored in the user equipment, then all measurement instances are recorded, but reporting efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement recording completenessVSAvoidreporting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes duplicate measurement information from the logged data before reporting. The network configures the user equipment to perform selective logging based on whether the measured information is essential, thereby extracting only the necessary measurement data and eliminating redundant information that would otherwise reduce reporting efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing a logged measurement in a wireless communication system. A terminal receives a measurement configuration and a terminal selection parameter from a base station. The terminal determines whether or not to apply the measurement configuration based on the terminal selection parameter. If the measurement configuration is determined to be applied, the terminal logs a measurement based on the measurement configuration.
