APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460435 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a communication system that supports higher data rates beyond 4G LTE, known as pre-5G or 5G communication system. The patent application focuses on the collection and reporting of measurement information in this wireless communication system.
- The patent application describes an operation method for a terminal in this communication system.
- The terminal receives configuration information for a logged minimization drive test (MDT) from a secondary node (SN).
- The terminal performs the logged MDT and stores the measurement result in either the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode, based on the received configuration information.
- After the terminal switches to the RRC connected mode, it transmits a message indicating the existence of the stored measurement result.
- The terminal then receives a request message for the logged MDT measurement result and transmits a message to report the logged MDT measurement result.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various areas where high data rates are required, such as:
- Mobile networks: It can enhance the performance and efficiency of mobile networks by providing accurate measurement information for optimization and troubleshooting.
- Internet of Things (IoT): The technology can support IoT devices that require high data rates for real-time data transmission and analysis.
- Autonomous vehicles: It can contribute to the development of autonomous vehicles by enabling reliable and fast communication between vehicles and infrastructure.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems in wireless communication systems:
- Efficient measurement collection: It provides a method for collecting measurement information in a simplified and streamlined manner, reducing the complexity and overhead of the system.
- Seamless transition: The technology allows for a smooth transition between different communication modes, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and efficient reporting of measurement results.
- Optimization and troubleshooting: By collecting and reporting accurate measurement information, the technology helps in optimizing network performance and identifying and resolving issues in the communication system.

- Improved network performance: Accurate measurement information helps in optimizing network performance, leading to better quality of service for users.
- Enhanced reliability: The seamless transition between communication modes and efficient reporting of measurement results contribute to a more reliable and robust communication system.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4-Generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). The disclosure relates to the collection and reporting of measurement information in a wireless communication system, in which an operation method of a terminal may include receiving configuration information for a logged minimization drive test (MDT) disclosed by a secondary node (SN), storing a measurement result by performing the logged MDT in one of a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode, based on the received configuration information, transmitting a message including an indicator for indicating that the stored measurement result exists after the terminal is switched to the RRC connected mode, receiving a request message for requesting the logged MDT measurement result, and transmitting a message for reporting the logged MDT measurement result.
