Dynamic Measurement Gap Operation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17593840 Titled 'Dynamic Measurement Gap Operation'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes wireless devices and methods for indicating and configuring measurement gaps (MG) in wireless communication. The wireless device can indicate its ability to support a semi-persistent (SP) MG configuration to a wireless station. It can receive the SP MG configuration and a message to activate it from the wireless station. In response, the device performs target carrier frequency measurements according to the activated SP MG configuration. The device can also receive a message to deactivate the SP MG configuration, upon which it discontinues the target carrier frequency measurements. Additionally, the device can indicate its ability to support an aperiodic (AP) MG configuration, which does not require explicit deactivation by the wireless station.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects herein relate to wireless devices, circuits, and methods for indicating, by a wireless device, to a wireless station, an ability to support semi-persistent (SP) measurement gap (MG) configuration; receiving, from the wireless station, a SP MG configuration; receiving, from the wireless station, a message to activate the SP MG configuration; performing, in response to receiving the message to activate the SP MG configuration, a target carrier frequency measurement, wherein the target carrier frequency measurement is performed in accordance with the activated SP MG configuration; receiving from the wireless station, a message to deactivate the SP MG configuration; and discontinuing, in response to receiving the message to deactivate the SP MG configuration, the performance of the target carrier frequency measurement. In other aspects, the wireless device may indicate, to the wireless station, an ability to support aperiodic (AP) MG configuration, which does not require explicit deactivation by the wireless station.
