Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems lack waveform-specific measurements and reporting for determining beam, channel, and link quality, which is essential for informed decision-making on suitable waveforms under varying channel conditions.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves configuring, measuring, and reporting for multiple waveform-based reference signals, allowing for waveform-specific measurements and enhanced beam/radio failure detection and recovery. This is achieved by associating RS resources with specific waveforms, either explicitly or implicitly, and configuring reporting to include waveform-specific metrics.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If waveform-specific measurements and reporting are implemented, then beam failure detection and recovery efficiency are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement and reporting configuration by introducing separate configuration parameters for different waveforms (first waveform and second waveform). Each waveform has its own set of measurement parameters, reference signal resources, and reporting configurations, allowing independent optimization and management of each waveform's performance without affecting others.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic configuration where the network can selectively activate different waveform-specific measurement and reporting configurations based on current channel conditions. The system can switch between measuring first waveform metrics, second waveform metrics, or both simultaneously, providing adaptability to varying communication requirements and channel environments.
2Measurement precision
If multiple waveform-based reference signals are configured, then channel condition assessment accuracy is improved, but signaling information complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing waveform-specific measurement parameters and reporting configurations tailored to each waveform type. Each waveform receives customized measurement settings optimized for its characteristics, allowing precise assessment of channel conditions for each waveform without requiring a completely separate measurement system for each waveform type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal measurement and reporting framework that can handle multiple waveforms through a single integrated configuration system. The network device can configure measurement parameters for different waveforms using the same fundamental structure and processing logic, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining waveform-specific measurement precision.

AI summary
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for configuration, measurement, and reporting for multiple wave-form-based reference signals. An apparatus (400) includes a transceiver (425) and a processor (405) that is coupled to the transceiver (425). The processor (405) is configured to cause the apparatus (400) to receive a first signaling information from a network, the first signaling information indicating a RS resource and a corresponding association to at least one waveform; receive a second signaling information from the network, the second signaling information indicating a reporting configuration for performing measurements on the RS resource and the corresponding at least one waveform; generate a measurement report according to the reporting configuration; and transmit the measurement report to the network.
