Patent number: 11930519Abstract: Measurement resources are often limited in 5G and 4G-LTE communications. As a result, SMTC and CSI-RS measurement windows will occasionally be assigned to the same resource elements of a signal frame. This results in a collision that must be resolved, since both measurements cannot be performed simultaneously. The collision can be resolved using restriction, where overlapping resource elements are assigned to either the SMTC or the CSI-RS measurements, or can be resolved using measurement sharing, where overlapping resource elements are divided among the two measurements according to a measurement sharing factor. Various factors, including priority or window periodicity may be taken into account by the measurement rules that dictate collision resolution.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jie Cui, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Oghenekome Oteri, Wei Zeng, Weidong Yang, Yang Tang, Yuchul Kim, Yushu Zhang, Zhibin Wu
