Solution Overview

Problem

Wireless communication systems face challenges in defining triggering conditions for measurement reports based on various reference signals, particularly in Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) environments, where accurate channel status information is crucial for efficient network management.

Innovation Solution

A method for performing measurement reports by user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, involving the reception of channel status information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) from multiple sets, determining CSI-RSs that satisfy specific quality-based triggering conditions, and reporting measurement results, which includes continuously transmitting reports until certain conditions are met or a maximum number of transmissions is reached.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If measurement reports are continuously transmitted to ensure accurate channel status information, then network performance and accuracy are improved, but transmission overhead and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel status information accuracyVSAvoidtransmission energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The measurement report transmission is made dynamic by introducing triggering conditions based on reception quality thresholds. Instead of continuous transmission, reports are sent only when CSI-RS reception quality changes exceed predetermined offsets, adapting the transmission behavior to actual channel conditions and reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the transmission parameter from continuous to event-triggered based on reception quality parameters. By monitoring whether CSI-RS reception quality satisfies triggering conditions (comparing against threshold + offset), the system dynamically adjusts transmission frequency, thereby reducing energy loss while preserving measurement precision when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple CSI-RS sets are monitored to improve reception quality identification, then measurement accuracy is improved, but device complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereception quality identification accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments CSI-RS resources into multiple sets (first set and second set) with different configurations. The UE processes each set separately, determining whether CSI-RS from the first set satisfy triggering conditions relative to the second set. This segmentation reduces processing complexity by organizing measurements into manageable groups while maintaining accurate reception quality identification across diverse network environments including CoMP.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for a terminal carrying out a measurement report in a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method for carrying out a measurement report comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality of CSI-RSs which are included in a first set and/or a second set; determining a CSI-RS that is determined and/or a measurement report on the CSI-RS which is included in the second set, wherein the triggering condition is to be larger than that resulting from applying a predetermined offset to a reception quality value of the specific CSI-RS from the second set.
