Wireless Measurement Reporting Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current measurement reporting in wireless communication networks lacks flexibility, particularly in supporting machine learning applications, as it does not allow for separate configuration of measurement objects that trigger reports and those whose results are reported, limiting the network's ability to make informed mobility decisions.
Innovation Solution
The wireless communication network configures report triggering and content measurement objects separately, enabling the wireless device to evaluate results from one set of measurement objects for triggering a report and report results from a different set, allowing for flexible reporting and enhanced functionality such as mobility decisions based on machine learning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the network configures measurement objects for triggering and reporting together using a single measurement model, then the measurement reporting system maintains simplicity and consistency, but the system lacks flexibility in supporting advanced functionalities like machine learning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement object configuration into two distinct sets: report triggering measurement objects (used to evaluate triggering criteria) and report content measurement objects (whose measurement results are included in the report). This segmentation is achieved through separate configuration parameters in the network signaling, allowing independent control of each set and enabling flexible combinations for different application scenarios including machine learning.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the network uses a versatile measurement model for configuring event-based measurement reporting, then the system maintains broad compatibility and straightforward operation, but the system cannot flexibly report results from different measurement objects than those triggering the report
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides measurement objects into two functional categories with separate configuration: report triggering measurement objects (for evaluating triggering events) and report content measurement objects (for including results in the report). The network signaling includes distinct parameter sets for each category, enabling the system to configure scenarios where the triggering objects and reported objects differ, thus supporting machine learning applications while maintaining clear operational procedures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the measurement report includes results from the same measurement objects that trigger the report, then the system maintains logical consistency and simplicity, but the system cannot support machine learning applications that require measurements from different objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements segmentation by defining separate measurement object sets for triggering and reporting purposes. The network signaling structure includes distinct configuration parameters that allow the report content measurement objects to be different from the report triggering measurement objects. This enables machine learning applications where the network can trigger reports based on one set of measurements while reporting results from another set, providing the adaptability needed for advanced functionalities.

AI summary
A method performed by a wireless device (12) comprises receiving (500), from a network node (18) in a wireless communication network (10), signaling (20) that indicates one or more report triggering measurement objects (22) and one or more report content measurement objects (24). The one or more report triggering measurement objects (22) are one or more objects of measurements whose results (22R) are to be evaluated by the wireless device (12) for determining whether to log or send a measurement report (16). The one or more report content measurement objects (24) are one or more objects of measurements whose results (22R) are to be reported by the measurement report (16). The signaling (20) is configurable to indicate at least one report content measurement object (24) that is different from each of the one or more report triggering measurement objects (22) indicated by the signaling (20).
