Enhanced EMR for Service-Aware Measurements and Reports - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18413482 titled 'Enhanced EMR for Service-Aware Measurements and Reports

The patent application describes a network and user equipment (UE) system that utilizes Early Measurement Report (EMR) results to configure Secondary Cell Groups (SCG) and improve network performance.

The network can adjust SCG based on EMR results reported by the UE, enhancing network efficiency.
Service-specific frequency layer configuration information is used to configure the EMR feature for the UE, optimizing network resources.
The UE can autonomously determine its EMR feature using crowdsourced frequency layer information, improving user experience.
The UE can report Idle mode measurements independently, without relying on network-initiated messaging, increasing efficiency.
The network can activate Primary Secondary Cells (PSCells) based on service-specific frequency layer configuration information and a list of potential PSCells, enhancing network coverage and performance.

1. 1. Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in 5G New Radio (NR) networks, IoT devices, and other wireless communication systems to optimize network performance and user experience.

1. 1. Problems Solved:

- Efficient configuration of Secondary Cell Groups (SCG) - Autonomous determination of Early Measurement Report (EMR) feature - Independent reporting of Idle mode measurements - Activation of Primary Secondary Cells (PSCells) for improved network coverage

1. 1. Benefits:

- Enhanced network efficiency and performance - Improved user experience and connectivity - Autonomous network optimization - Increased network coverage and reliability

1. 1. Commercial Applications:

This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and network infrastructure providers to enhance network performance, optimize resources, and improve user satisfaction.

1. 1. Questions about the Technology:

1. How does the use of Early Measurement Report (EMR) results benefit network performance? 2. What are the advantages of autonomously determining the EMR feature for User Equipment (UE)?

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments disclosed herein include: (1) a network (e.g., a G New Radio (NR) network) that is configured to use Early Measurement Report (EMR) results reported from a User Equipment (UE) device to configure or change a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) for the UE; (2) a network configured to use service-specific frequency layer configuration information to configure the EMR feature for a UE; (3) a UE configured to use crowdsourced frequency layer information to autonomously determine the UE's EMR feature; (4) a UE configured to autonomously report Idle mode measurements without waiting for network-initiated messaging; (5) a UE configured to receive a set of Primary Secondary Cells (PSCells) from a network including an active PSCell and one or more deactivated PSCells; and (6) a network configured to use service-specific frequency layer configuration information and a list of potential PSCells to configure the EMR feature for a UE and activate a PSCell.
