Apparatus and methods for resolving incomplete message content in networks

摘要

Methods and apparatus for resolving incomplete message content in networks. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to correction and recovery of incomplete measurement report configuration messages within a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. Specifically, within certain LTE networks, existing messaging may be incomplete in regards to various nearby ancillary networks, but still sufficient with regards to measurement requirements of the LTE network itself. Since the mobile device can continue operation within the LTE network, the mobile device can safely ignore or correct the measurement report configuration message.

主权项

1. A mobile wireless apparatus, comprising:
a first wireless interface configured to communicate with at least a first wireless network; a second wireless interface configured to communicate with a second ancillary wireless network; and logic in data communication with at least the first wireless interface, the logic configured to cause the mobile wireless apparatus to:
verify the validity of a message by checking completeness and/or content of one or more portions of the message, the one or more portions of the message comprising a first trigger event condition for the first wireless network and a second trigger event condition for the second ancillary wireless network, and one or more operations for the mobile wireless apparatus to perform,wherein the first and second trigger event conditions each indicate when to perform at least one of the one or more operations;when the message is valid perform at least one of the one or more operations included in the message; andwhen the message is invalid:
verify the validity of the first trigger event condition for the first wireless network by checking completeness and/or content of the first trigger event condition, andwhen the first trigger event condition is valid perform at least one of the one or more operations included in the message.
