UE Capability Reporting for Connected and Non-Connected Cell Measurements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, network devices struggle to configure accurate measurement resources for user equipment (UE) due to incomplete or mismatched measurement capability reporting, leading to resource waste or inaccurate measurements.
Innovation Solution
UE reports its measurement capability information, including first and second capability information for connected and non-connected cells, allowing the network device to configure matching measurement resource configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the network device configures measurement resources without accurate UE capability information, then the configuration process is simple, but the measurement precision and resource efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement capability information is segmented into multiple distinct types: first capability information for non-connected cell measurement, second capability information for simultaneous connected and non-connected cell measurement, and third capability information for connected cell measurement. This segmentation allows the network device to precisely match measurement resource configurations to specific UE capabilities, improving measurement accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through structured information organization.
2Reliability
If the network device configures excessive measurement resources, then measurement coverage is improved, but resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The UE provides feedback to the network device through capability information reporting, indicating its specific measurement capabilities for different cell types and scenarios. The network device uses this feedback to configure measurement resources that precisely match the UE's capabilities, ensuring reliable measurements while avoiding allocation of excessive resources that would be wasted on capabilities the UE cannot utilize.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the network device uses generic measurement resource configuration, then the configuration process is simplified, but adaptability to different UE capabilities deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement resource configuration is customized according to local UE capability characteristics. Different capability types (first for non-connected cells, second for simultaneous measurement, third for connected cells) receive tailored resource configurations rather than a generic one-size-fits-all approach. This local quality adaptation ensures optimal measurement performance for each capability scenario while the network device manages complexity through standardized configuration procedures for each capability type.

AI summary
A method for resource configuration includes: reporting measurement capability information to a network device, in which the measurement capability information includes at least one of: first capability information, configured to indicate a measurement capability of a UE when the UE measures a non-connected cell of the UE, or second capability information, configured to indicate a measurement capability of the UE when the UE measures a connected cell and the non-connected cell of the UE simultaneously; and acquiring a first measurement resource configuration for measuring the non-connected cell and a second measurement resource configuration for measuring the connected cell configured by the network device.
