TECHNIQUES FOR CHANNEL MEASUREMENT REPORTING ACROSS DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTED UNITS (DUS) OF A BASE STATION (BS) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486121 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR CHANNEL MEASUREMENT REPORTING ACROSS DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTED UNITS (DUS) OF A BASE STATION (BS)

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for transmitting measurement reports from a user equipment (UE) to distributed units (DUs) associated with a central unit (CU).

  • The UE can send measurement reports in different formats, including separate reports for activated and deactivated cells, joint reports for activated and deactivated cells, or joint reports across multiple DUs.
  • The reports contain metrics for each cell in a configured set, allowing the UE and DUs to adjust cell activation based on the reports.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in cellular networks to improve communication efficiency and network performance by dynamically adjusting cell activation based on real-time measurements.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the challenge of optimizing cell activation in a cellular network to ensure optimal coverage and capacity while minimizing interference and resource wastage.

Benefits

The system allows for more efficient use of network resources, improved user experience through better connectivity, and overall enhanced network performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be valuable for telecommunications companies looking to enhance their network capabilities and provide better service to their customers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of similar measurement reports for cell optimization in cellular networks, but the specific method described in this patent application may be novel and innovative.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life on user equipment (UE)?

This article does not address the potential impact of increased communication and measurement reporting on the battery life of UEs.

What are the potential security implications of transmitting detailed measurement reports in a cellular network?

The article does not discuss the security measures in place to protect the transmission of sensitive measurement data in the network.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a transmission, from a user equipment (UE) to a first distributed unit (DU), of one or more measurement reports including channel measurements of a set of cells associated with a second DU of a same central unit (CU) as the first DU. The UE may transmit the one or more measurement reports according to various reporting format options, including via separate reports for activated and deactivated cells of the second DU, a joint report for activated and deactivated cells of the second DU, or a joint report across a set of DUs including the first DU. The measurement reports may include one or more metrics associated with each cell of a configured cell set and the UE and the DUs of the same CU may activate or deactivate one or more cells for communication with the UE based on the measurement reports.
