Samsung patents method to compress beam measurement reports in 5G/6G

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung describes a way for phones to report signal quality to cell towers more efficiently. Instead of sending full data for every signal beam, the phone sends one main measurement and smaller differences for the rest.

Why it mattersThis improves how 5G and 6G networks manage signal beams, potentially saving battery and bandwidth during high-speed data transfers.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. According to the present disclosure, a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, first configuration information related to measurement for beam management and second configuration information associated with the first configuration information and including information about one or more downlink reference signal resources respectively related to different beams for performing the measurement, wherein the first configuration information includes information for setting the number of second measurement results used for reporting measurement results among first measurement results for the one or more downlink reference signal resources; receiving a downlink reference signal on the one or more downlink reference signal resources from the base station on the basis of information about the one or more downlink reference signal resources; acquiring the first measurement results on the basis of the received downlink reference signal; and transmitting, to be base station, the measurement result report based on the set number of the second measurement results and including a reference measurement result based on the first measurement results, wherein the measurement result report includes information about the reference measurement result and information about the differential between the reference measurement result and each of one or more measurement results other than the reference measurement result, and the range of values represented by the information about the differential may be determined on the basis of a value indicated by information for setting the number.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, first configuration information related to measurement for beam management and second configuration information associated with the first configuration information and including information on one or more downlink reference signal resources which are respectively related to different beams to be subject to the measurement, the first configuration information including information for configuring the number of second measurement results used for a measurement result report among first measurement results for the one or more downlink reference signal resources; receiving, from the base station, a downlink reference signal on the one or more downlink reference signal resources, based on the information on the one or more downlink reference signal resources; obtaining the first measurement results, based on the received downlink reference signal; and transmitting, to the base station, the measurement result report that is based on the configured number of the second measurement results including a reference measurement result based on the first measurement results, wherein the measurement result report comprises information on the reference measurement result and information on a differential of, from the reference measurement result, each of one or more measurement results other than the reference measurement result, and wherein a range of a value indicated by the information on the differential is determined based on a value indicated by the information for configuring the number.
