REDUCING ERRANT MEASUREMENT REPORT TIMER DEACTIVATION USING LAYER 3 FILTER AUGMENTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17484664 titled 'REDUCING ERRANT MEASUREMENT REPORT TIMER DEACTIVATION USING LAYER 3 FILTER AUGMENTATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus for a user equipment (UE) that activates a timer to transmit a measurement report to a base station. It also includes hardware circuitry to output a filtered signal value from a measured signal using a first parameter. The apparatus determines a trend in signal quality based on the first filtered signal value and a second filtered signal value using a second parameter. It can also process the values from the first filter or the received signal. Based on the trend in signal quality, the apparatus determines whether to deactivate the timer. The filtered signal can be generated using network-configured parameters and proprietary parameters. The processing of values can also be done using proprietary parameters and techniques.

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus to be implemented in a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising hardware circuitry to activate a timer for transmitting a measurement report to a base station; output a filtered signal value from a measured signal using a first parameter; determine a trend in signal quality based on the first filtered signal value and a second filtered signal value based on a second parameter; or some processing of the values either from the first filter or from the received signal; and determine whether to deactivate the timer based on the trend in signal quality. The filtered signal can be generated using a first layer 3 filter using network-configured parameters and a second layer 3 filter using proprietary parameters. Processing of the values can also be done using proprietary parameters and techniques.
