User Equipment RRM Measurement Relaxing with Multi-Type Thresholds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, using only Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) as the measurement result for Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement relaxing or adapting conditions can lead to inadequate performance of RRM measurement operations, as other measurement results like Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) and Signal to Interference plus Noise Power Ratio (SINR) are not considered, potentially resulting in suboptimal power consumption and performance.
Innovation Solution
A user equipment that receives information on conditions for reporting different types of measurement results and performs RRM measurement relaxing or adaptation based on specified threshold values for these results, ensuring appropriate conditions are met, thereby incorporating RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR for more comprehensive measurement operations.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If only RSRP is used as the measurement result for RRM measurement relaxing/adapting condition, then the measurement condition is simple to implement, but the RRM measurement operation performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the RRM measurement relaxing/adapting mechanism to support multiple measurement result types (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR) rather than limiting it to RSRP only. This allows the same measurement relaxing mechanism to function universally across different measurement types, improving performance while maintaining implementation simplicity through a unified approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces configurable parameters including measurement result type indicators and threshold values for different measurement types. By changing the measurement result type parameter from fixed (RSRP only) to variable (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR), the system can adapt to different scenarios and improve measurement operation performance while keeping the implementation framework simple.
2Measurement precision
If multiple measurement result types are used for RRM measurement relaxing/adapting condition, then the measurement accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic selection of measurement result types through configurable indicators and threshold values. The system can dynamically adapt which measurement type (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR) to use based on operational conditions, achieving high measurement accuracy without permanent increases in device complexity. The complexity is managed through software configuration rather than hardware complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-configures threshold values and measurement type indicators in advance through network configuration or pre-defined settings. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly determine which measurement type to use without complex real-time decision-making, reducing operational complexity while maintaining measurement accuracy.
3Use of energy by moving object
If RRM measurement relaxing is performed based on inappropriate conditions, then power consumption is reduced, but communication performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses measurement result feedback (RSRP, RSRQ, or SINR based on configured types) to determine whether to perform RRM measurement relaxing. The system continuously monitors the configured measurement result type and its threshold condition, providing feedback that controls the measurement relaxing decision. This ensures power consumption is reduced only when appropriate conditions are met, maintaining communication performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables flexible parameter configuration for measurement result types and threshold values that govern when measurement relaxing occurs. By adjusting these parameters based on network conditions and requirements, the system can optimize the balance between power consumption and communication performance, performing relaxing only when configured conditions are satisfied.

AI summary
A user equipment includes a receiving unit that receives information indicating that, in a case in which a first condition is satisfied by a first type of measurement result, a second type of measurement result is to be reported, and a control unit that determines, when it is specified or indicated that RRM measurement relaxing or adaptation is to be performed in a case in which a second condition including a threshold value is satisfied, that the threshold value corresponds to the first type of measurement result, and performs the RRM measurement relaxing or adaptation in a case in which the second condition including the threshold value is satisfied by the first type of measurement result.
