METHOD, CENTRAL UNIT, DISTRIBUTED UNIT, BASE STATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271168 titled 'METHOD, CENTRAL UNIT, DISTRIBUTED UNIT, BASE STATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method in which a central unit of a split base station apparatus in a cellular communication system sends a message to a distributed unit of the split base station apparatus, configuring it to report current measurement data for communication quality measurements. The central unit then receives communication quality measurements from the distributed unit for the cell and/or beam serving the UE under its control.

  • Central unit sends message to distributed unit for configuring communication quality measurements reporting.
  • Central unit receives communication quality measurements from distributed unit for the serving cell and/or beam.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various cellular communication systems to improve the monitoring and management of communication quality for better user experience.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient reporting of communication quality measurements. 2. Enhanced control and monitoring of serving cells and beams.

Benefits

1. Improved communication quality for users. 2. Better optimization of network resources. 3. Enhanced performance monitoring and management.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing communication quality in cellular networks can lead to improved customer satisfaction, reduced churn rates, and overall better network performance, making this technology valuable for telecom companies.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for configuring and monitoring communication quality in cellular networks using different communication protocols and systems.

What are the specific communication quality measurements being reported in this method?

The specific communication quality measurements being reported in this method include data related to the current communication quality of the cell and/or beam serving the UE under control of the distributed unit.

How does this method contribute to the overall efficiency of the split base station apparatus in a cellular communication system?

This method contributes to the overall efficiency of the split base station apparatus by enabling better monitoring and control of communication quality, leading to improved network performance and user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method is presented in which a central unit (-) of a split base station apparatus in a cellular communication system sends, to a distributed unit (-) of the split base station apparatus, a first message comprising an information element for configuring the distributed unit (-) of the split base station apparatus serving a UE () to report current measurement data representative of communication quality measurements. The central unit (-) receives, from the distributed unit (-) of the split base station apparatus, in a second message sent in response to the first message, communication quality measurements for the cell and/or beam currently serving the UE () under control of the distributed unit (-) of the split base station apparatus.
