TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING MEASUREMENT GAPS AND ASSOCIATING MEASUREMENT GAP PATTERNS WITH BANDWIDTH PART HOPPING PATTERNS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17454519 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING MEASUREMENT GAPS AND ASSOCIATING MEASUREMENT GAP PATTERNS WITH BANDWIDTH PART HOPPING PATTERNS

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation focuses on how a user equipment (UE) can indicate measurement gap information to a base station in a wireless network. Here are the key points:

  • The UE receives signaling that configures hopping patterns for multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs), each with resource blocks of a bandwidth that is less than what the UE can support.
  • The UE transmits control signaling to indicate measurement gap information for frequency spectrum bands, specifying whether a measurement gap is applicable for measurements.
  • The indication is based on the hopping patterns and the frequency-domain location of signals to be measured.
  • The UE determines a measurement gap pattern for an active BWP based on the association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP or a hopping pattern.
  • The UE performs measurements on signals according to the determined measurement gap pattern.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Mobile devices and smartphones
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • 5G and future generations of wireless networks

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient utilization of available frequency spectrum bands
  • Minimizing interference during measurements in wireless networks
  • Optimizing resource allocation for different bandwidth parts

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability of measurements in wireless networks
  • Enhanced efficiency in utilizing available frequency spectrum bands
  • Better resource allocation and management in wireless networks


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may indicate measurement gap information to a base station. For example, a UE may receive signaling configuring hopping patterns for multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs). Each BWP may include resource blocks having a bandwidth that is less than a threshold bandwidth support by the UE. The UE may transmit control signaling indicating measurement gap information for frequency spectrum bands, and the control signaling may indicate whether a measurement gap is applicable for measurements. The indication may be based on hopping patterns and a frequency-domain location of signals to be measured. The UE may determine a measurement gap pattern for an active BWP based on an association between the measurement gap pattern and the active BWP, or between the measurement gap pattern and a hopping pattern. The UE may perform measurements on signals based on the measurement gap pattern.
