Samsung patents method for splitting quality reports in 5G networks

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has been granted a patent for a method to manage how mobile devices report their connection quality to the network. The system allows the network to decide if a device can break a large quality report into smaller pieces before sending it, which helps manage data flow on specific communication channels.

Why it mattersThis is a technical improvement for network management that may help optimize data handling in future 5G or 6G systems, though it is unlikely to be visible to most users.

In the filing’s own words

This disclosure relates to 5 th generation (5G) or 6 th generation (6G) communication systems to support higher data rates. A method performed by a secondary node (SN) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), first configuration information associated with a quality of experience (QoE) measurement, wherein the first configuration information includes an indicator indicating whether a segmentation of a report of the QoE measurement on a signaling radio bearer (SRB) associated with the report of the QoE measurement to the SN is allowed, and receiving, from the UE, the report of the QoE measurement based on the indicator.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a secondary node (SN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, to a master node (MN), first configuration information associated with a quality of experience (QoE) measurement, wherein the first configuration information includes an indicator indicating whether a segmentation of a report of the QoE measurement via a first signaling radio bearer (SRB) associated with the report of the QoE measurement to the SN is allowed; and receiving, directly from a user equipment (UE) via the first SRB, the report of the QoE measurement based on the indicator, wherein the first configuration information is included in second configuration information transmitted to the UE via second SRB.
