TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS USING MULTIPLE MEASUREMENT GAP OCCASIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18264746 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS USING MULTIPLE MEASUREMENT GAP OCCASIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for wireless communication at a communication device, such as a user equipment (UE), to transmit signaling indicating UE capability information to a base station. The UE receives control signaling from the base station indicating a measurement gap sequence configuration based on the UE capability information. The UE then determines a measurement gap occasion based on the configuration and performs channel measurements during the determined measurement gap occasion.

• Explanation of the patent:

- Communication device (UE) transmits signaling to base station indicating UE capability information. - UE receives control signaling from base station indicating measurement gap sequence configuration. - UE determines measurement gap occasion based on configuration. - UE performs channel measurements during determined measurement gap occasion.

Potential applications of this technology: - Wireless communication systems - Mobile devices - Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient utilization of resources in wireless communication - Improved communication reliability and performance

Benefits of this technology: - Enhanced communication quality - Optimal resource allocation - Reduced interference

Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Telecommunication companies - IoT device manufacturers - Wireless network equipment providers

Possible prior art: - Prior art related to measurement gap sequences in wireless communication systems - Previous patents on UE capability information signaling

Unanswered questions: 1. How does the measurement gap sequence configuration impact the overall performance of the communication device? 2. Are there any specific standards or protocols that need to be followed for implementing these techniques in wireless communication systems?

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for wireless communication at a communication device are described. The communication device may be a user equipment (UE) configured to transmit, to a base station, signaling indicating UE capability information. The UE may receive, from the base station, control signaling indicating a measurement gap sequence configuration based on the UE capability information. The UE may determine a measurement gap occasion based on the measurement gap sequence configuration. The measurement gap occasion may include one or more of a first measurement gap occasion associated with a first measurement gap sequence, a second measurement gap occasion associated with a second measurement gap sequence, or a combination of the first measurement gap occasion and the second measurement gap occasion. The UE may perform a set of channel measurements during the determined measurement gap occasion.
