Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in beam measurement, particularly in high-speed mobile scenarios like high-speed rail or highways, where high-level RRM measurements lead to latency issues and potential service interruptions due to the averaging of physical layer measurements, which are not suitable for all scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A measurement configuration method that allows User Equipment (UE) to obtain and process configuration information indicating different measurement behaviors, such as Layer 1 and Layer 3 measurements, to adapt beam measurement strategies based on specific scenarios, reducing latency and ensuring continuous service.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If high-level RRM measurement is used for non-serving cell measurement, then measurement accuracy is improved through filtering, but measurement latency increases and service interruption occurs in high-speed scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the measurement behavior configurable and adaptable to different scenarios. The network device dynamically selects between Layer 1 and Layer 3 measurement behaviors based on UE mobility conditions, transforming the static measurement process into a dynamic one that responds to changing channel conditions and mobility states

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the measurement behavior parameter from a fixed high-level RRM measurement to a configurable selection between Layer 1 and Layer 3 measurements. This parameter change allows the system to switch measurement filtering levels based on scenario requirements, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and latency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If Layer 3 measurement filtering is applied to obtain stable measurement results, then measurement stability is improved, but measurement responsiveness deteriorates in high-speed mobile scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement stabilityVSAvoidmeasurement responsiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the measurement stability-responsiveness tradeoff dynamic by allowing the network device to select between Layer 1 (fast, less stable) and Layer 3 (stable, slow) measurement behaviors based on real-time mobility conditions, enabling the system to adapt to changing speed requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the measurement filtering parameter from always applying Layer 3 filtering to selectively applying Layer 1 or Layer 3 filtering based on the configured measurement behavior, allowing the system to adjust stability versus responsiveness characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If analog beamforming training is performed with sequential transmission of training signals, then beam measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by allowing the UE to perform only the necessary measurement depth based on the configured behavior. With Layer 1 measurement, the UE performs physical layer measurement without extensive Layer 3 filtering, achieving sufficient accuracy with reduced measurement time compared to full Layer 3 processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
