Terminal Measurement Indication for Granular Validity Reporting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems face inefficiencies in network resource utilization due to asymmetry in information about reference signal measurements between terminals and network-side devices, leading to unnecessary reporting of invalid measurement results, which wastes network resources.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a measurement indication method that provides granular control over the type of measurements performed, the validity of reported results, and the reporting of these results by terminals, using protocols and network indication messages to align terminal and network-side device understanding.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the terminal reports measurement results without granular control, then the network-side device can obtain measurement data, but network resources are wasted due to reporting of invalid measurement results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement reporting process into granular components by introducing separate indication information for different measurement types (intra-frequency, inter-frequency, inter-RAT). This allows the terminal to selectively report only valid measurement results rather than all measurements, thereby reducing network resource waste from invalid reports while maintaining necessary measurement information.
2Measurement precision
If the terminal performs measurements at coarse granularity, then the measurement process is simpler, but the precision and relevance of measurement results decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different granularity levels for different measurement types. Each measurement type (intra-frequency, inter-frequency, inter-RAT) can have its own validity indication, allowing precise control over which specific measurements are reported. This enables high measurement precision for relevant signals while keeping the overall system manageable through structured configuration.

AI summary
A measurement indication method includes: obtaining at least one of first information, second information, or third information. The first information is related to a granularity of the terminal performing a non-connected state measurement; the second information is related to a granularity of the terminal reporting validity of a non-connected state measurement result; the third information is related to a granularity of the terminal reporting the non-connected state measurement result; and the granularity is related to at least one of a reference signal, a measurement quantity, or a frequency banks.
