METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RADIO LINK MONITORING MEASUREMENTS IN A SYSTEM USING BANDWIDTH PARTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443661 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RADIO LINK MONITORING MEASUREMENTS IN A SYSTEM USING BANDWIDTH PARTS
The patent application discusses a method for a radio terminal to continue using a specific synchronization signal block (SSB) for Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) measurements even after switching the downlink bandwidth part (BWP) to a different one.
- Enables the radio terminal to monitor a suitable Reference Signal (RS) for RLM measurements after switching the active downlink BWP.
- Ensures continuity in RLM measurements by allowing the radio terminal to use the SSB associated with the original BWP.
- Facilitates seamless transition between different BWPs without affecting RLM functionality.
- Improves the efficiency and accuracy of RLM measurements in wireless communication systems.
Potential Applications: - 5G and beyond wireless communication systems - Mobile networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved: - Ensures uninterrupted RLM measurements during BWP switching - Enhances the reliability of RLM data for network optimization
Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced monitoring capabilities - Seamless BWP transitions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Radio Link Monitoring Method for Wireless Communication Systems" This technology can be utilized in telecommunications companies, network equipment manufacturers, and IoT device providers to enhance the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted
When a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) is switched from a first BWP to a second BWP without a change of a cell defining synchronization signal block (SSB), if a reference signal type for Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) is set to an SSB type, a radio terminal () continues to use for RLM measurements a first SSB associated with the first BWP after switching of the downlink BWP to the second BWP. This for example enables the radio terminal to monitor a suitable Reference Signal (RS) for RLM measurements after switching of the DL active BWP.
