UE Measurement Triggering Based on Event Type
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication technologies waste measurement opportunities in user equipment (UE) by performing measurements regardless of location-based or time-based events, leading to inefficient resource management in radio resource management (RRM)-based scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A measurement method in UE that determines whether to perform a measurement operation based on the type of trigger event, allowing flexible operation and reducing unnecessary measurements by evaluating the necessity of measurement operations based on specific event conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the UE performs measurements on the corresponding measurement object when receiving the relevant configuration without considering whether the location-based or time-based event is met, then the measurement reporting or conditional reconfiguration can be performed when both events are met, but measurement opportunities are wasted when only RRM-based events are met before location-based or time-based events occur
Solution Approach 1:
The UE performs measurements in advance when RRM-based events are met, storing the measurement results for future use. When location-based or time-based events are subsequently met, the pre-stored measurement results are utilized, eliminating the need to wait for all conditions to be simultaneously satisfied and thus reducing measurement opportunity loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The measurement triggering mechanism is made dynamic by allowing different triggering conditions (RRM-based events, location-based events, time-based events) to independently initiate measurements. The system adapts the measurement triggering logic based on the specific event type, enabling flexible and efficient measurement operations rather than requiring all conditions to be met simultaneously.
2Measurement precision
If the UE performs measurements regardless of whether location-based or time-based events are met, then measurement results are always available, but measurement opportunities are wasted leading to inefficient resource management
Solution Approach 1:
Different measurement triggering strategies are applied based on the specific event type. RRM-based events can independently trigger measurements and store results, while location-based and time-based events have specialized handling. This localized optimization ensures measurement results are available when needed without universally wasting measurement opportunities across all event types.
Solution Approach 2:
The measurement triggering parameters are changed based on event type. For RRM-based events, the threshold for triggering measurements is lowered to allow independent triggering. For location-based and time-based events, the triggering logic is modified to utilize pre-stored results or trigger measurements independently, thereby improving overall measurement efficiency while maintaining result availability.
