CONFIGURATION OF SIGNAL MEASUREMENTS AT USER EQUIPMENT DURING IDLE PERIODS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349107 titled 'CONFIGURATION OF SIGNAL MEASUREMENTS AT USER EQUIPMENT DURING IDLE PERIODS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CHANNEL
The present disclosure describes a method for configuring signal measurements in a wireless communication channel. A network node sends timing configurations to a user equipment (UE) to define fixed frame periods (FFPs) and indicate when signal measurements should be performed within idle periods of the FFPs. This allows for efficient and flexible signal measurement scheduling in the network.
- Network node generates timing configurations for wireless communication channel
- First timing configuration defines sequence of FFPs
- Second timing configuration indicates when signal measurements should be performed within idle periods of FFPs
- Enables signal measurements to be always performed within idle periods of FFPs
- Provides flexible configuration of signal measurements in wireless communication network
Potential Applications: - Wireless communication networks - Mobile telecommunications - Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient scheduling of signal measurements in wireless networks - Flexibility in configuring signal measurements for UEs
Benefits: - Reduced signaling overhead - Improved network performance - Enhanced user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: "Wireless Signal Measurement Configuration Technology" This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and network infrastructure providers to optimize signal measurement processes and enhance overall network efficiency.
Questions about Wireless Signal Measurement Configuration Technology: 1. How does this technology improve signal measurement efficiency in wireless networks? 2. What are the potential benefits of using fixed frame periods for signal measurements in a wireless communication channel?
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a technique for configuring signal measurements to be performed for a wireless communication channel. more specifically, a network node generates a first timing configuration for the wireless communication channel and sends it to a ue. the first timing configuration defines a sequence of fixed frame periods (ffps). then, the network node generates a second timing configuration for the wireless communication channel and sends it to the ue. the second timing configuration comprises an indication for the ue to perform the signal measurements (e.g., rssi measurements) within at least part of an idle period of at least one ffp of the sequence of ffps. by so doing, it is possible (by using a limited signaling overhead) to ensure that the signal measurements will be always performed within the idle period(s) of the ffp(s). in some embodiments, the indication may cause the ue to perform the signal measurements within the at least part of every n-th ffp (e.g., every second ffp) of the sequence of ffps, thereby providing a more flexible configuration of the signal measurements in a wireless communication network.
