MANAGING MEASUREMENT GAP CONFIGURATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917081 titled 'MANAGING MEASUREMENT GAP CONFIGURATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing measurement gap information in a radio access network (RAN). The method involves a first network node, which can be a distributed unit (DU) or a target base station, and a second network node, which can be a central unit (CU) or a source base station. The method includes receiving information from the second network node that specifies the measurement gap capability of a user equipment (UE) in communication with the RAN. Based on this information, the first network node determines whether to generate a measurement gap configuration for the UE. The first network node then provides an indication to the second network node regarding whether it generated the measurement gap configuration for the UE.

  • The method is used in a radio access network (RAN) to manage measurement gap information.
  • It involves a first network node (DU or target base station) and a second network node (CU or source base station).
  • The first network node receives information from the second network node about the measurement gap capability of a user equipment (UE) in the RAN.
  • Based on this information, the first network node decides whether to generate a measurement gap configuration for the UE.
  • The first network node provides an indication to the second network node about whether it generated the measurement gap configuration for the UE.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various wireless communication systems that use a radio access network (RAN).
  • It can be used in handover procedures between distributed base stations or source base stations.
  • The method can help optimize the measurement gap configuration for user equipment (UE) in the RAN.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently managing measurement gap information in a radio access network (RAN).
  • It addresses the need for a distributed unit (DU) or target base station to determine whether to generate a measurement gap configuration for a user equipment (UE) based on its capability.
  • The method provides a solution for indicating to a central unit (CU) or source base station whether the measurement gap configuration was generated by the DU or target base station.

Benefits

  • The method allows for efficient management of measurement gap information in a radio access network (RAN).
  • It enables better optimization of the measurement gap configuration for user equipment (UE) in the RAN.
  • The method improves the handover procedures between distributed base stations or source base stations in the RAN.


Original Abstract Submitted

Processing hardware in a first network node of a radio access network (RAN) can implement a method for managing measurement gap information. The first network node is a distributed unit (DU) of a distributed base station or a target base station in a handover procedure, and a second network node is a central unit (CU) of the distributed base station or a source base station in the handover procedure. The method includes receiving (), at the first network node from the second network node, an information element that specifies a measurement gap capability of the UE in communication with the RAN. The method also includes determining (), based on information element, whether to generate a measurement gap configuration for the UE. Further, the method includes providing (), to the second network node, an indication of whether the first network node generated the measurement gap configuration for the UE.
