User Terminal RRM Measurement Configuration via Common Parameters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current radio communication systems, such as 5G and NR, face challenges in configuring Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements, which can lead to degraded communication throughput if not properly conducted.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal with a receiving section for common information representing parameters shared among multiple space resources used for transmitting reference signals, and a control section that controls RRM measurements based on this common information, allowing for efficient configuration of RRM measurements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If RRM measurement is conducted without proper configuration, then communication throughput is degraded, but implementing proper RRM measurement configuration increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by configuring a common parameter set that is shared across multiple reference signal resources. Instead of individually configuring parameters for each reference signal resource, a single common parameter set is defined that can be applied universally to multiple resources, thereby reducing configuration complexity while ensuring proper RRM measurement is conducted to maintain communication throughput
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter configuration approach from individual per-resource parameters to a common parameter set that applies to multiple resources. This parameter change simplifies the configuration process by reducing the number of parameters that need to be managed and configured, while still enabling proper RRM measurement functionality
2Measurement precision
If individual parameter configuration is used for each reference signal resource, then measurement accuracy is improved, but overhead and configuration burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the parameter configuration for multiple reference signal resources into a single common parameter set. By combining what would otherwise be separate individual configurations into one unified configuration, the overhead is reduced while the measurement accuracy is maintained through the proper application of the common parameters across all relevant resources
3Reliability
If detailed RRM measurement configuration is implemented, then communication quality during mobility is maintained, but user equipment burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces user equipment burden by providing a universal common parameter set that the UE can apply to multiple reference signal resources without needing to individually manage separate configurations for each resource. This simplifies the operation at the UE side while still maintaining the reliability needed for communication quality during mobility through proper RRM measurement configuration

AI summary
RRM measurement can be configured properly. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user terminal has a receiving section that receives common information that represents a parameter that is common among a plurality of space resources that are used to transmit a reference signal, and a control section that controls measurement of the reference signal, which is transmitted using one of the plurality of space resources, based on the common information.
