Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User equipment in non-terrestrial networks may not have the capability to simultaneously measure signals from satellites in different orbits, leading to scheduling challenges during neighboring cell measurements.
Innovation Solution
User equipment and network devices exchange indication information about the capability to simultaneously measure signals from different satellite networks, allowing for appropriate scheduling strategies without additional limitations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If user equipment performs neighboring cell measurement in NTN system, then measurement capability is improved, but scheduling complexity increases due to inability to simultaneously measure signals from different satellite networks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the user equipment report its measurement capability status in advance before the actual measurement process. The network device uses this advance information to pre-configure appropriate scheduling strategies, avoiding the need for complex real-time scheduling decisions during measurement operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by enabling the scheduling strategy to adapt based on the user equipment's capability status. When the user equipment supports simultaneous measurement, the network device applies one scheduling approach; when it does not support simultaneous measurement, the network device applies a different scheduling approach. This dynamic adaptation resolves the scheduling complexity issue.
2Measurement precision
If user equipment stops scheduling during neighboring cell measurement, then measurement accuracy is improved, but service continuity deteriorates due to interruption of data control service
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing capability-based dynamic scheduling strategies. When user equipment does not support simultaneous measurement, the network device adjusts the scheduling approach to maintain service continuity during measurement periods, rather than simply stopping all scheduling activities. This resolves the contradiction between measurement accuracy and service continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes by modifying scheduling parameters based on user equipment capability status. The network device changes scheduling parameters such as time allocation, resource allocation, and measurement timing to balance measurement accuracy requirements with service continuity requirements, rather than using a fixed scheduling approach.
