Solution Overview

Problem

In complex and diverse network deployment scenarios, sharing measurement gap (MG) resources between measurement objects (MOs) for intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements is challenging due to varying network deployment strategies and frequency plans, particularly in standalone (SA) network deployments.

Innovation Solution

A method for wireless communication that involves receiving measurement configuration information to configure MGs and gap sharing information for MO groups, allowing terminal devices to perform measurements based on predefined or configured proportions of MG occupancy, enabling flexible and prioritized MG sharing among multiple MO groups.

1Productivity

If measurement gap resources are shared between multiple measurement objects in complex network deployment scenarios, then measurement priority requirements can be met and resource allocation efficiency is improved, but the complexity of coordinating and managing multiple measurement objects increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement resource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidcoordination complexity among measurement objects
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments measurement objects into groups (first measurement object group, second measurement object group, etc.) and assigns different measurement gap sharing ratios to each group. This segmentation allows the network to manage complex measurement coordination by handling groups rather than individual objects, reducing the coordination complexity while maintaining efficient resource allocation across multiple measurement objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If different measurement objects are assigned different measurement gap sharing ratios, then measurement priority requirements are satisfied and flexible resource allocation is achieved, but the complexity of configuring and managing sharing ratios increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in meeting measurement priority requirementsVSAvoidconfiguration complexity of sharing ratios
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different measurement gap sharing ratios to different measurement object groups based on their specific measurement priority requirements. Each group receives a customized sharing ratio that matches its operational needs, allowing the system to be adaptable to diverse measurement scenarios while managing complexity through group-based configuration rather than individual object configuration.
