Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication technologies face performance degradation due to measurement gap conflicts, where low-priority gaps are discarded, preventing important functions or operations from being completed by user equipment.

Innovation Solution

User equipment transmits first information to the network regarding measurement gap purposes and priorities, and receives second information from the network to ensure consistent understanding and prioritize important gaps, resolving conflicts and ensuring essential operations are not dropped.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal discards low-priority measurement gaps according to protocol regulations to resolve measurement gap conflicts, then the measurement gap conflict is resolved, but important functions or operations may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompletion of important functionsVSAvoidmeasurement gap management complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by determining priorities for different measurement gap purposes before conflicts occur. The network is informed of these priorities in advance through indication information, enabling proactive conflict resolution that preserves important functions rather than reactive discarding after conflicts arise.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal provides feedback to the network by indicating the priorities of measurement gaps for different purposes. This feedback mechanism allows the network to understand which measurement gaps are critical for the terminal's operations, enabling the network to make informed decisions about resource allocation and conflict resolution that maintain terminal performance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If multiple measurement gaps are configured with different priorities, then measurement gap conflicts can be resolved systematically, but the configuration and management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemeasurement gap conflict resolutionVSAvoidpriority configuration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing priority levels as a new parameter for measurement gaps. Different purposes are assigned different priority parameters, transforming the measurement gap management from a binary keep/discard decision to a multi-level priority-based systematic resolution process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The measurement gap management is segmented by purpose and priority level. Different measurement gap purposes (e.g., positioning, mobility, interference measurement) are segmented into distinct priority categories, allowing independent management and resolution of conflicts based on specific purpose requirements rather than uniform treatment.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the terminal autonomously determines measurement gap priorities, then the terminal can optimize its own performance, but the network lacks visibility into terminal-specific requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveterminal performanceVSAvoidnetwork awareness of measurement gap purposes

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Priority indication information serves as an intermediary between the terminal's autonomous priority determination and the network's resource management. This intermediary mechanism allows the terminal to maintain autonomy in determining priorities while simultaneously providing the network with the necessary information to support terminal performance through coordinated resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
