Samsung patents method for phones to measure wireless signal quality
This filing describes a way for a device's processor to check how well it is connected to a network. It does this by looking at specific test signals sent by the network to measure the condition of the connection.
In the filing’s own words
An operation method, performed by a processor of a terminal, includes identifying a first resource group corresponding to the terminal, identifying first reference signals of a first type for the first resource group, identifying channel state information, based on one or more of the first reference signals or based on a second reference signal of a second type that is associated with the first reference signals, and identifying channel characteristic information corresponding to the first resource group based on the channel state information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An operation method, performed by a processor of a terminal, the operation method comprising: identifying a first resource group corresponding to the terminal; identifying a plurality of first reference signals of a first type for the first resource group; identifying channel state information, based on at least one of the plurality of first reference signals or based on a second reference signal of a second type that is associated with the plurality of first reference signals; and identifying channel characteristic information corresponding to the first resource group based on the channel state information.
