5G UE Resource Scheduling via Binary Variable Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G wireless communication networks, particularly in 5G NR networks, there is a challenge in efficiently scheduling resource management procedures across multiple component carriers and antenna pairs to meet the growing demand for mobile broadband access and enhance user experience, especially in managing tracking loops and resource allocation.
Innovation Solution
A user equipment (UE) is configured to determine combinations of antenna pairs and component carriers, identify available receivers, and map these combinations to perform resource management procedures such as tracking loops using synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), employing a binary variable system to manage resource allocation and scheduling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple component carriers and antenna pairs are scheduled for resource management procedures, then measurement precision and tracking loop performance are improved, but device complexity and resource allocation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource management procedures by creating separate scheduling mechanisms for different combinations of component carriers and antenna pairs. Each combination is assigned a binary variable that can be independently managed, allowing the system to divide the complex scheduling task into smaller, more manageable units that can be processed individually while maintaining overall measurement precision across multiple carriers and antenna pairs.
2Reliability
If more receivers are allocated to perform tracking loop procedures on multiple component carriers, then tracking loop performance is improved, but device complexity and resource allocation overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic receiver allocation where the assignment of receivers to component carriers and antenna pairs is not fixed but can be adjusted based on current system conditions, available receivers, and performance requirements. The binary variable system allows receivers to be dynamically assigned to different combinations, enabling the system to optimize tracking loop performance while adapting to changing conditions without requiring a permanently complex receiver architecture.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive resource management procedures are performed on all component carrier and antenna pair combinations, then measurement precision and tracking loop performance are improved, but resource allocation time and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using binary variables to selectively enable or disable resource management procedures for specific component carrier and antenna pair combinations. Rather than uniformly performing comprehensive procedures on all combinations, the system can activate only the necessary subset based on current needs, reducing processing overhead and resource allocation time while maintaining measurement precision where required.

AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) configured to schedule resource management procedures including measurements and tracking loop procedures. In some examples, the UE includes at least one antenna pair and two or more receivers. The UE may be configured to determine a plurality of combinations of antenna pairs and component carriers, where each component carrier is associated with a particular frequency. The UE may further be configured to schedule measurements/tracking loop procedures to available receivers first and utilize a selection algorithm to select combinations of antenna pairs and component carriers and map the selected combinations to the remaining of the available receivers to perform tracking loop procedures. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.
