METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17794961 titled 'METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT CONTROL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and device for measurement control in a terminal device. Here are the key points:
- The terminal device detects if the frequency bands used by two operators for a shared cell are overlapped.
- If the frequency bands are overlapped, the terminal device performs measurements on a reference signal from one of the operators in the overlapped portion of the frequency bands.
- The terminal device then reports the measurement results to both operators.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile network operators can use this method to efficiently measure and monitor the performance of shared cells.
- The technology can be applied in multi-operator environments where frequency bands are shared, such as in roaming scenarios or network sharing agreements.
Problems solved by this technology:
- In shared cell scenarios, it can be challenging for terminal devices to accurately measure and report performance due to overlapping frequency bands.
- This method solves the problem by selectively measuring the reference signal from one operator in the overlapped portion, ensuring accurate measurement results.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved measurement accuracy in shared cell scenarios, leading to better performance monitoring and optimization.
- Efficient utilization of network resources by focusing measurements on the overlapped portion of frequency bands.
- Enhanced collaboration between operators through the sharing of measurement results.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and a terminal device are disclosed for measurement control. According to an embodiment, the terminal device detects, for a cell that is shared by two operators and to be measured by the terminal device, whether frequency bands used by the two operators for the cell are overlapped. When detecting that frequency bands used by the two operators for the cell are overlapped, the terminal device performs measurement on a reference signal from one of the two operators at least at the overlapped portion of the frequency bands. The terminal device reports information about a result of the measurement to the two operators.
