RRM Measurement in 5G New Radio FR1 Dual Connectivity - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314602 titled 'RRM Measurement in 5G New Radio FR1 Dual Connectivity
The abstract describes a patent application where a user equipment (UE) is able to connect to both a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a wireless network simultaneously, with both the primary component carrier (PCC) of the PCell and the primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) of the PSCell being in frequency range 1 (FR1). The UE receives configurations for PCC measurement object (MO), PSCC MO, and inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap, determines carrier-specific scaling factors for each, and applies these factors to determine scaled measurement periods for each type of MO.

Original Abstract Submitted
a user equipment (ue) is configured to simultaneously connect to a primary cell (pcell) and a primary secondary cell (pscell) of a wireless network, wherein a primary component carrier (pcc) of the pcell and a primary secondary component carrier (pscc) of the pscell are both in frequency range 1 (fr1). the ue receives a pcc measurement object (mo) configuration, a pscc mo configuration, and an inter-frequency mo with no measurement gap configuration, determines a pcc mo carrier specific scaling factor (cssf), a pscc mo cssf, and an inter-frequency mo with no measurement gap cssf and applies each respective cssf to a measurement period corresponding to each of the pcc mo, the pscc mo, and the inter-frequency mo with no measurement gap to determine a scaled measurement period corresponding to each of the pcc mo, the pscc mo, and the inter-frequency mo with no measurement gap.
