MEASUREMENT IDENTITIES COORDINATION BETWEEN MASTER NODE AND SECONDARY NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917703 titled 'MEASUREMENT IDENTITIES COORDINATION BETWEEN MASTER NODE AND SECONDARY NODE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a secondary node in a network. The method involves coordinating measurement identities with a master node. This coordination includes signaling a request to the master node for a new value for the maximum number of measurement identities that the secondary node can configure. It also includes releasing measurement identities to comply with the new value received from the master node.

  • The method involves a secondary node coordinating measurement identities with a master node in a network.
  • The secondary node can request a new value for the maximum number of measurement identities it can configure.
  • If the secondary node receives a new value from the master node, it releases measurement identities to comply with the new value.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in wireless communication networks where secondary nodes need to coordinate and manage measurement identities with a master node.
  • It can be used in network protocols that involve allocation and configuration of measurement identities.

Problems Solved

  • This method solves the problem of efficiently managing and coordinating measurement identities between secondary nodes and a master node in a network.
  • It addresses the issue of allocating additional measurement identities when needed and releasing them when the maximum limit is changed.

Benefits

  • The method allows for flexible allocation of measurement identities by secondary nodes, enabling them to request and configure additional identities as needed.
  • It ensures compliance with the maximum limit set by the master node, preventing any conflicts or inefficiencies in the allocation of measurement identities.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a secondary node is provided. The method includes coordinating a number of measurement identities exchanged with a master node. The coordinating includes at least one of the following: signaling a request to the master node for a new value for a maximum number of measurement identities that the secondary node can configure when the secondary node wants to allocate additional measurement identities in excess of a prior number of measurement identities configured by the master node; and subsequent to receiving from the master node the new value for the maximum number of measurement identities and wherein the secondary node previously configured the measurement identities based on a prior value for the maximum number measurement identities, releasing a number of the measurement identities to comply with the new value.
