UE Capability Reporting for Candidate Configuration Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional capability reporting in wireless communications systems leads to inefficient resource consumption, power usage, and increased latency due to separate reporting of shared parameters and types of capability signaling, resulting in under-reporting and complex network entity configurations.
Innovation Solution
A UE receives a capability query and transmits a capability message indicating supported capabilities for candidate configurations, along with processing power thresholds and scaling factors, allowing the network entity to configure the UE efficiently and reduce latency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If separate reporting of shared parameters is used for capability signaling, then comprehensive capability information can be provided, but resource consumption increases and latency is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple capability parameters into unified capability messages. Instead of separately reporting each capability parameter, the UE consolidates them into single capability messages that convey multiple capabilities simultaneously, reducing signaling overhead and resource consumption while maintaining complete capability information.
Solution Approach 2:
The capability messages are designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously - they convey capability information, indicate supported configurations, and provide parameter sharing information all in one message structure, eliminating the need for separate reporting mechanisms.
2Loss of information
If separate reporting of shared parameters is used for capability signaling, then comprehensive capability information can be provided, but latency is increased
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple capability reports into single consolidated capability messages, the patent reduces the number of signaling exchanges required between UE and network entity, thereby reducing the time required for capability reporting while maintaining complete information.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE prepares and reports multiple capability parameters in advance within unified capability messages, allowing the network entity to have complete capability information available sooner rather than waiting for sequential separate reports.
3Loss of information
If conventional capability signaling is used, then capability information can be reported, but under-reporting occurs and network entity configuration becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the network entity sends capability queries to the UE, and the UE responds with detailed capability information including supported configurations and parameter sharing relationships. This structured feedback ensures complete and accurate capability reporting without under-reporting.
Solution Approach 2:
The capability information is segmented into structured components including capability parameters, supported configurations, and parameter sharing relationships. This segmentation organizes the information in a systematic way that reduces network entity configuration complexity while ensuring complete capability coverage.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a capability query requesting one or more UE capabilities associated with a set of candidate UE configurations. As such, the UE may transmit, in response to the capability query, a capability message indicating at least a subset of the one or more UE capabilities associated with the set of candidate UE configurations. Thus, the UE may receive, a control message indicating configuration information associated with at least one candidate UE configuration from the set of candidate UE configurations based on the capability message, such that the UE may communicate with the network entity in accordance with the configuration information.
