WIRELESS COMMUNICATION MEASUREMENT REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17850808 titled 'WIRELESS COMMUNICATION MEASUREMENT REPORTING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is about signal measurements in a wireless communication system. It describes a method for a first apparatus to measure a signal from a user equipment that is not directly connected to it. The measurement information is then sent to a second apparatus, which can determine whether to activate or deactivate a cell associated with the first apparatus based on the measurement information.
- A first apparatus measures a signal from a user equipment without a direct connection.
- The measurement information is sent to a second apparatus.
- The second apparatus can decide to activate or deactivate a cell based on the measurement information.
- The second apparatus can also forward the measurement information to a third apparatus for interference mitigation and power coordination operations.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Cellular networks
- Interference mitigation operations
- Power coordination operations
Problems Solved
- Lack of direct connection between a first apparatus and a user equipment
- Difficulty in determining whether to activate or deactivate a cell based on signal measurements
Benefits
- Improved signal measurement capabilities
- Enhanced interference mitigation and power coordination operations
- Better management of cellular networks
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to signal measurements. A first apparatus (e.g., a distributed unit) may measure a signal associated with a user equipment that does not have a connection with the first apparatus. The first apparatus may output measurement information based on the signal measurement to a second apparatus (e.g., a central unit). In response, the second apparatus may output a message based on the measurement information. In some examples, the second apparatus may determine whether to activate or deactivate a cell associated with the first apparatus based on the measurement information, and send a corresponding message to the first apparatus. In some examples, the second apparatus may forward some or all of the measurement information to a third apparatus (e.g., another distributed unit or a base station) for use in interference mitigation operations and/or power coordination operations.
