Terminal Layer 1 Measurement Reporting for Mobility Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobility measurement technologies in communications systems face challenges with real-time performance due to the need for temporal smoothing filtering of layer 1 measurement results at layer 3, leading to delayed reporting and increased resource overheads.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow direct reporting of layer 1 measurement results when specific conditions are met, eliminating the need for layer 3 reporting and enabling conditional reporting based on events configured by the network-side device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If layer 3 reporting with temporal smoothing filtering is used, then measurement reliability is improved, but real-time performance deteriorates due to delayed reporting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement reporting process into two independent paths: Layer 1 immediate reporting for real-time performance and Layer 3 filtered reporting for reliability. This segmentation allows both requirements to be satisfied simultaneously by reporting different types of measurement results through different layers based on the specific needs of the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by reporting Layer 1 measurement results immediately without waiting for Layer 3 processing. This preliminary reporting ensures that the network receives critical measurement information in real-time, enabling timely mobility decisions while Layer 3 processing continues in parallel for more reliable averaged results.
2Loss of time
If periodic reporting of layer 1 measurement results is implemented, then real-time performance is improved, but resource overheads increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic reporting by allowing the network to flexibly configure when and what to report through event-triggered mechanisms. The reporting behavior adapts to current network conditions and mobility requirements, switching between periodic and event-based reporting as needed, thereby optimizing the balance between timeliness and resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the reporting parameters dynamically based on network configuration and event conditions. Instead of fixed periodic reporting, the system adjusts reporting triggers, intervals, and content based on measured events and network requirements, reducing unnecessary transmissions while ensuring critical information is reported promptly.
Data Source
AI summary
A reporting method, a terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided. The reporting method includes: performing, by a terminal, layer 1 measurement; and when a layer 1 measurement result meets a first condition, reporting, by the terminal, the layer 1 measurement result. The first condition corresponds to an event configured by a network-side device.
