Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the UE continuously reports measurement relaxation state to the network, then the network can perform better parameter configuration, but the UE power consumption increases due to unnecessary reporting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic reporting behavior where the UE adjusts its reporting actions based on real-time evaluation of execution conditions. The UE continuously monitors whether reporting conditions are met (such as whether measurement relaxation state has actually changed) and only reports when necessary, rather than using a fixed continuous reporting mode. This dynamic approach ensures accurate parameter configuration is obtained when needed while avoiding unnecessary power consumption during stable states.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE autonomously evaluates whether reporting should be performed by checking execution conditions against its current measurement relaxation state. Instead of relying on network-triggered reporting or continuous reporting commands, the UE self-determines the appropriateness of reporting based on predefined criteria such as state changes or specific event occurrences. This self-service mechanism eliminates wasteful reporting while ensuring important state changes are communicated to the network.
2Measurement precision
If the UE performs frequent measurement relaxation evaluations, then the determination accuracy of reporting timing is improved, but the processing overhead and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential evaluation criteria from continuous monitoring and only performs full measurement relaxation evaluations when specific execution conditions are met. Instead of evaluating all parameters continuously, the UE checks for triggering events (such as state changes or configured conditions) and only then performs the comprehensive evaluation. This extraction approach maintains high timing accuracy for reporting decisions while significantly reducing the frequency and energy cost of evaluations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic evaluation based on event-triggered conditions rather than continuous evaluation. The UE performs measurement relaxation evaluations at specific intervals defined by execution conditions (such as when measurement state changes or when configured reporting triggers occur). This periodic approach ensures accurate capture of state changes while avoiding the energy waste of continuous evaluation, balancing precision with power efficiency.

AI summary
Provided in the present invention is a method performed by user equipment for determining whether to report a measurement relaxation state, the method including: when the user equipment is configured with a cell configuration for a target cell on which a radio link measurement is to be performed, determining whether the target cell satisfies a measurement relaxation evaluation execution condition; when the measurement relaxation evaluation execution condition is satisfied, performing, for the target cell, measurement relaxation evaluation for determining whether the target cell satisfies a measurement relaxation criterion related to the radio link measurement; and determining, on the basis of a measurement relaxation evaluation result, whether to report a measurement relaxation state to a base station.
