Samsung patents method for phones to adjust signal strength during reports
This filing describes a way for mobile devices to decide how to send status updates to a cell tower. The phone checks specific signals to determine the right channel and power level for sending these reports.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses and methods for determination of transmission parameters and resources for user equipment (UE)-initiated reporting. A method performed by a UE includes receiving information related to a counter for event evaluation, receiving a signaling informing whether a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state is updated, and determining a value of the counter based on the signaling. The method further includes determining, based on the value, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for a UE-initiated report indicator (UEIRI) transmission, determining a transmission power for the PUCCH based on a transmission power priority, and transmitting the PUCCH with the transmission power.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising: a transceiver configured to: receive information related to a counter for event evaluation; and receive a signaling informing whether a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state is updated; and a processor operably coupled with the transceiver, the processor configured to: determine a value of the counter based on the signaling; determine, based on the value, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for a UE-initiated report indicator (UEIRI) transmission; and determine a transmission power for the PUCCH based on a transmission power priority, wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the PUCCH with the transmission power.
