CELL MEASUREMENT METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18044427 titled 'CELL MEASUREMENT METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
This patent application is about methods and devices for measuring neighboring cells in a cellular network. The user equipment (UE) determines the priority of neighboring cells and measures them based on a cell measurement policy. Here are the key points:
- The UE identifies neighboring cells that belong to different priorities.
- The first priority is lower than the second priority.
- The UE determines that the cell measurement policy includes measuring the first priority neighboring cells in discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles.
- DRX cycles are time intervals where the UE is in a low-power mode to conserve energy.
- The time interval between two measurements on the first priority neighboring cell is equal to or greater than one DRX cycle.
- The UE measures the neighboring cells according to the cell measurement policy.
Overall, this patent application describes a method for efficiently measuring neighboring cells in a cellular network, taking into account their priorities and optimizing energy consumption.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to cell measurement methods and devices. In one example method, a user equipment determines at least one first neighboring cell belonging to a first priority and/or at least one second neighboring cell belonging to a second priority among at least one neighboring cell adjacent to a serving cell of the user equipment, where the first priority is lower than the second priority. When the at least one neighboring cell includes the at least one first neighboring cell, the user equipment determines that a cell measurement policy includes measuring the at least one first neighboring cell in a plurality of discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles, where a time interval between two adjacent measurements on the first neighboring cell is greater than or equal to one DRX cycle. The user equipment measures the at least one neighboring cell according to the cell measurement policy.
