Samsung patents method to help 5G phones measure network interference

This patent describes a way for cell towers to coordinate with each other to improve 5G and 6G connections. One tower tells a phone exactly when to check for interference from another tower's users, ensuring the measurement happens at the right time.

Why it mattersIt helps manage signal quality in dense wireless networks, which is a routine but necessary step for maintaining stable high-speed data connections.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate beyond 4G communication systems such as LTE. A method for operating a first base station to control interference signal measurement of a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of receiving information on a transmission/reception mode of a second base station from the second base station, on the basis of the information on the transmission/reception mode of the second base station, determining timing information to be used when the first UE measures an interference signal caused by an uplink signal of a second UE communicating with the second base station, and transmitting the timing information to the first UE so that the first UE measures the interference signal.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method for operating a first base station (BS) for controlling interference signal measurement of a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a second BS, information about a transmission and reception mode of the second BS; based on the information about the transmission and reception mode of the second BS, determining timing information used when the first UE measures an interference signal generated by an uplink signal of a second UE communicating with the second BS; and transmitting, to the first UE, the timing information to enable the first UE to measure the interference signal.
