UE Measurement Reporting With Network ID Checks and Bearer Split
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in data collection and reporting for network-based model training, leading to issues such as head-of-line blockage on high priority signaling radio bearers, increased signaling overhead, and unintended information leakage due to lack of network identifier checks.
Innovation Solution
Implementing configuration enhancements that allow UEs to collect and report measurement data based on network identifiers, using lower priority signaling radio bearers, and ensuring correct network entities receive the data by verifying identifiers, thereby reducing latency and improving communication efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If measurement data is transmitted using high priority signaling radio bearers, then data transmission reliability is improved, but head-of-line blockage occurs and signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments measurement data transmission by creating two distinct reporting mechanisms: one for high priority data on high priority bearers and another for low priority data on low priority bearers. This segmentation allows different types of measurement data to be transmitted through appropriate channels, preventing head-of-line blockage while maintaining reliability for critical data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces configuration information as an intermediary that guides the selection of reporting bearers. The network entity provides configuration information indicating which measurement data should be reported on high priority bearers versus low priority bearers, acting as a mediator that optimizes the transmission path for different data types.
2Loss of information
If measurement data is reported to all network entities, then data completeness is improved, but information leakage occurs to unintended targets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the network entity provide configuration information in advance that specifies which targets are authorized to receive measurement data. The UE checks these network identifiers before transmission, ensuring data is only sent to pre-approved targets and preventing information leakage while maintaining data completeness for authorized entities.
3Reliability
If network identifier verification is implemented, then information security is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing network identifier verification only where necessary - specifically when configuration information is provided. The UE performs selective verification based on the presence of network identifiers in the configuration, rather than universally verifying all transmissions. This reduces signaling overhead while maintaining security for configured targets.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first network entity (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) may receive configuration information to cause the first network entity to collect measurement information associated with network-based model training and to report a measurement report based on the measurement information where the measurement report may include the measurement information. Moreover, the configuration information may indicate one or more network identifiers that correspond to respective targets to which the first network entity is allowed to transmit the measurement report. Then, the first network entity may transmit the measurement report to the respective targets that correspond to the one or more network identifiers indicated within the configuration information. Further, the transmission of the measurement report to the respective targets may be based on an inclusion of the respective network identifiers associated with the respective targets in the configuration information.
