Title: Improvements in or relating to reducing random access for paged User Equipment (UE) in New Radio (NR)
Inventor: IOANNIS XIROUCHAKIS
IPC: H04W36/30
Filed: 2017-11-15
Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes a directional antenna for communicating with a base station (BS). The UE may be an aerial vehicle such as a drone and may employ beam-forming. To perform cell searching measurements for the purpose of hand-overs or cell selection, the UE may divide the entire 360 degree plane into sectors and calibrate its beam towards each sector in turn. Measurement gaps may be provided, during which both uplink and downlink communications are unavailable to the UE, allowing it to direct its beam towards cells in other sectors. These gaps may correspond to intra-frequency measurement gaps. The UE may report its directional capability to the BS, including specifying the number of sectors it uses and the beam-widths. The BS may then reconfigure its measurement gaps in response and communicate this to the UE in a RRC reconfiguration message. Additional measurement gap properties may also be defined such as identification timings and measurement accuracy requirements. The scheme may find use in a New Radio or 5G network.
