METHOD FOR DETERMINING COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT LEVEL AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18066472 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT LEVEL AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for determining the Cell Edge Level (CEL) of a terminal device based on measurement results and predefined thresholds.

  • The terminal device obtains measurement results for reference signals.
  • The CEL is determined based on the measurement results and N thresholds.
  • The N thresholds are ordered in descending order.
  • If a measurement result is greater than or equal to the lowest threshold (threshold 0), the CEL is set to CEL 0.
  • If the measurement results are below a certain threshold (threshold i) and there is a measurement result greater than or equal to the next threshold (threshold i+1), the CEL is set to CEL (i+1).
  • The value of i ranges from 0 to (N-2).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Mobile devices
  • Network optimization

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate determination of the Cell Edge Level
  • Efficient utilization of network resources
  • Improved performance of wireless communication systems

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced network performance and coverage
  • Optimal allocation of network resources
  • Improved user experience in terms of signal quality and reliability


Original Abstract Submitted

This application discloses a method. The method includes: A terminal device obtains one or more measurement results respectively corresponding to one or more reference signals, and determines a CEL of the terminal device based on the one or more measurement results and at least one of N thresholds, where the N thresholds are a threshold 0, a threshold 1, . . . , and a threshold (N−1) in descending order. If there is a measurement result greater than or equal to the threshold 0 in the one or more measurement results, the CEL of the terminal device is a CEL 0. If the one or more measurement results are less than a threshold i, and there is a measurement result greater than or equal to a threshold (i+1), the CEL of the terminal device is a CEL (i+1), and a value of i is an integer from 0 to (N−2).
