Wireless Terminal Concurrent Gap Configuration and Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems lack an efficient method to provide terminal capability information on concurrent gaps, which are essential for optimizing terminal operations in diverse scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal transmits UECapabilityInformation to a base station, including performance information for supported gap combinations, and receives RRCReconfiguration containing MeasGapConfig, which sets and configures gaps for measurement operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal supports multiple concurrent gap operations for diverse scenarios (measurement, MUSIM, power control), then the operational versatility and flexibility are improved, but the device complexity and configuration management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments gap operations into distinct types (measurement gaps, MUSIM gaps, power control gaps) with separate configuration parameters and management procedures. Each gap type has its own capability indication mechanism and configuration message structure, allowing independent management of each gap function while maintaining overall system coordination through the network controller.
2Productivity
If detailed capability information for each gap combination is transmitted, then the network can optimize gap configuration for specific scenarios, but the information overhead and signaling complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing detailed capability information only for specific gap scenarios that are actually needed. The terminal indicates capabilities separately for different gap types (measurement, MUSIM, power control) and their combinations, allowing the network to request and process only the relevant capability information for the current operational context, rather than transmitting all possible gap configuration details universally.

AI summary
An embodiment of the disclosure may comprise the steps in which: a terminal transmits UECapabilityInformation to a base station; the terminal receives RRCReconfiguration from the base station; the terminal configures a gap for each of one or more first information sets; the terminal associates the gap configured for each of one or more pieces of first information with a gap identifier; and the terminal measures an associated frequency in the gap configured for each of the one or more pieces of first information.
