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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098540 titled 'ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF PRECONFIGURED MEASUREMENT GAPS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a user equipment (UE) to activate pre-configured measurement gap patterns based on certain conditions being satisfied.

  • The method involves receiving information from a network node about pre-configured measurement gap patterns.
  • It then determines if the conditions for using a specific pre-configured measurement gap pattern are met.
  • If the conditions are satisfied, the method determines when to start using the pattern and initiates measurements accordingly.

Potential Applications

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

Problems Solved

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

Benefits

The method allows for more effective utilization of pre-configured measurement gap patterns, leading to enhanced network efficiency and user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be valuable for telecom companies looking to enhance their network performance and provide better services to their customers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for managing measurement gaps in wireless networks, but this specific approach of activating pre-configured measurement gap patterns based on conditions being satisfied may be a novel innovation.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does this method impact battery life on user equipment? 2. Are there any potential security concerns with activating pre-configured measurement gap patterns based on external information?


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.
