ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF PRECONFIGURED MEASUREMENT GAPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271585 titled 'ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF PRECONFIGURED MEASUREMENT GAPS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes systems and methods for the activation and/or deactivation of preconfigured measurement gaps.

  • User Equipment (UE) receives information from a network node about pre-configured measurement gap patterns.
  • UE determines if conditions for using a pre-configured measurement gap pattern are met.
  • UE determines when to start using the pre-configured measurement gap pattern and initiates measurement using it.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications, specifically in optimizing network performance and resource allocation.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently managing measurement gaps in wireless communication systems, improving overall network performance.

Benefits

The technology allows for the activation and deactivation of preconfigured measurement gaps based on specific conditions, leading to better utilization of resources and enhanced network performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Optimizing Network Performance through Preconfigured Measurement Gaps Technology"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to optimizing measurement gap patterns in wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in User Equipment (UE)?

The abstract does not mention the potential impact of using pre-configured measurement gap patterns on the battery life of User Equipment. It would be important to understand if this technology helps in conserving battery power or if it has any adverse effects.

What are the specific conditions that need to be met for activating a pre-configured measurement gap pattern?

The abstract mentions that the User Equipment determines if certain conditions are satisfied before using a pre-configured measurement gap pattern. It would be helpful to know what these conditions are and how they are defined.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for activation and/or deactivation of preconfigured measurement gaps are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a User Equipment (UE) comprises receiving, from a network node, information that indicates one or more pre-configured measurement gap patterns. The method further comprises determining that a first set of one or more conditions for using a pre-configured measurement gap pattern is satisfied, the pre-configured measurement gap pattern being one of the one or more pre-configured measurement gap patterns. The method further comprises determining a time instance at which to start using the pre-configured measurement gap pattern and starting performance of a measurement using the pre-configured measurement gap pattern at or after the determined time instance. In this manner, the UE is enabled to activate a preconfigured measurement gap pattern in response to the first set of one or more conditions for using the pre-configured measurement gap pattern being satisfied.
