Terminal MDT Reporting Configuration via Base Station Indication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional network optimization methods require significant human, material, and financial resources, and have high experience requirements, while current MDT technology wastes resources and signaling by reporting all stored measurement information without filtering what is required by the base station.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal sends first indication information to a base station about supported reported-information types, and the base station configures and requests only the necessary MDT measurement information, allowing the terminal to report accordingly, thereby improving efficiency and reducing resource overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the terminal reports all stored MDT measurement information to the base station, then the base station can obtain comprehensive network data for analysis, but resource overhead and signaling waste increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal performs preliminary action by sending first indication information to the base station before actual MDT measurement reporting, indicating which reported-information types it supports. This allows the base station to pre-configure and request only the necessary measurement information types, avoiding waste of resources while ensuring completeness of required data.
2Loss of information
If the terminal reports all stored MDT measurement information to the base station, then comprehensive network data is obtained, but signaling waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the necessary parts of MDT measurement information that the base station actually needs. The base station configures specific reported-information types based on network optimization requirements, and the terminal reports only those configured types, thereby extracting essential data while discarding unnecessary signaling overhead.
3Measurement precision
If traditional network optimization methods are used with drive test instruments, then detailed network performance data can be collected, but heavy investment in human, material and financial resources is required
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal performs self-service by autonomously measuring and reporting MDT measurement information to the base station according to configured reported-information types. This eliminates the need for external drive test instruments and specialized personnel, reducing resource investment while maintaining measurement precision through the terminal's built-in capabilities.
4Measurement precision
If traditional network optimization methods are used with drive test instruments, then detailed network performance data can be collected, but high experience requirements for network optimization personnel are needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves self-service operation where the terminal automatically measures and reports MDT information based on base station configuration. The base station automatically processes the reported information for network optimization, eliminating the need for highly experienced personnel to manually operate drive test instruments and analyze data, thereby simplifying operations while maintaining measurement precision.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an information reporting method and apparatus. The method is applied to a terminal, and includes: sending first indication information to a base station, where the first indication information is configured to represent reported-information types supported by the terminal; receiving second indication information sent by the base station, where the second indication information is configured to represent specified reported-information types configured by the base station for the terminal according to the first indication information, and the specified reported-information types include one or more of the reported-information types supported by the terminal; sending MDT measurement information corresponding to the second indication information to the base station. Therefore, in the present disclosure, information can be reported in accordance with the configuration of a base station, and only MDT measurement information required by the base station is sent, improving information reporting efficiency and saving resource overhead.
