Logged MDT is the procedure whereby the UE performs logging of measurement results and subsequently reports the logged measurement results. This is shown in Fig. 13 in which a basestation (labelled as "gNB") sends a set or sequence of configuration instructions or commands to a specific device in the network (labelled "UE"). According to the configuration sent by the basestation , the device subsequently performs, records and reports certain measurements back to the basestation.

Immediate MDT refers to the measurements performed by the UE in CONNECTED state and reporting of the measurements is available at the time of reporting . For immediate MDT, the following measurements, marked by M, • M1: DL signal quantities measurement results for the serving cell and for intrafrequency/Inter-frequency/inter-RAT neighbour cells, including cell/beam level measurement for NR cells only; • M2: Power Headroom measurement by UE; • M3: Received Interference Power measurement; • M4: Data Volume measurement separately for DL and UL, per DRB per UE; • M5: Average UE throughout measurement separately for DL and UL, per DRB per; UE and per UE for the DL, per DRB per UE and per UE for the UL, by gNB ; • M6: Packet Delay measurement separately for DL and UL, per DRB per UE ;• M7: Packet loss rate measurement separately for DL and UL, per DRB per UE ; • M8: RSSI measurement by UE (for WLAN/Bluetooth measurement); • M9: RTT Measurement by UE (for WLAN measurement). Page 4-line 13:27 - For logged MDT, the network sends logged measurement configuration to the UE in connected mode, and then the UE collects measurements in RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE. Upon UE restarting the RRC connection, the UE firstly sends available indicator{s) to the network, and then the network can command the UE to send the measurements as indicated in Logged MDT procedures deal with measurement configuration , measurement collection, reporting and context handling. Measurement configuration specifies periodic and event-based trigger (e.g. measurement quantity-based event L 1, out-of-coverage detection trigger for logged MDT procedure for which logging interval is configurable and determines periodical logging of available data such as time stamp, location information) as well as logging duration. Optionally, the periodic measurement trigger is accompanied with a configuration of logging frequencies and cell IDs (i.e. PCI) for neighbour cell measurement. UE only need to log and report measurement results for the configured frequencies, if the results are available.)

(¶0002/¶0003, Kuang) 07-21-aia AIA Claim 18 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over HE, in view of EP_20189688.3_ Haustein, in view of Kim, further in view of Lin . Re. Claim 18, HE, EP_20189688.3_ Haustein and Kim teach claim 12. Yet, HE does not expressly teach wherein the set of configuration information includes any of: information to request reporting an average percentage of active time in a DRX cycle, information to request reporting a number of continuous DRX cycles with a percentage of active time above a configured threshold, a configured threshold used to calculate the number of continuous DRX cycles with the percentage of active time above the configured threshold, information to request reporting a number of DRX cycles with a percentage of active time above the configured threshold within a configured period, and/or the configured threshold and the configured period used to calculate the number of DRX cycles with the percentage of active time above the configured threshold within the configured period. However, in the analogous art, Lin explicitly discloses wherein the set of configuration information includes any of: information to request reporting an average percentage of active time in a DRX cycle (Fig. 1-9 & ¶0099 - the SL DRX configuration may be configured by the network, and the UE may send UE assistance information or Sidelink UE information to the network, reporting current SL traffic pattern or the preferred SL DRX configuration to the network . In addition, the UE may report DRX related statistic (e.g., the percentage of SL DRX active time for a given period of time, and/or the average percentage of the SL DRX active time per SL DRX cycle ) or measurement results (e.g., the ratio of time when the UE monitors SCI but there is no SLTx/Rx data sent or received) to the network . Also, Examiner interprets that only one of the claimed features to be mapped because of the presence of “ any of “in the limitation ), information to request reporting a number of continuous DRX cycles with a percentage of active time above a configured threshold, a configured threshold used to calculate the number of continuous DRX cycles with the percentage of active time above the configured threshold, information to request reporting a number of DRX cycles with a percentage of active time above the configured threshold within a configured period, and/or the configured threshold and the configured period used to calculate the number of DRX cycles with the percentage of active time above the configured threshold within the configured period. Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of the ordinary skill in the art before the effective filling date of the claimed invention to combine HE’s invention of enhanced user equipment (UE) assistance information message in NR (New Radio)/5G wireless communication system and EP_20189688.3_ Haustein’s invention of configuring a device for measuring and logging the obtained measurement results in a 5G wireless network and Kim’s invention of a method and device for measuring channel quality in a 5G / NR <New Radio> communication system to include Lin’s invention of a system and a method for discontinuous reception (DRX) support in sidelink communication in a wireless communication system, because it provides a robust and an efficient power saving mechanism NR (New Radio)-based V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), in which a Discontinuous Reception (DRX)-like operation is introduced for SL (sidelink) communication in the wireless communication system. (¶0002-¶0008, Lin) Response to Arguments 07-37 AIA Applicant's arguments filed on 03/30/2026 for 35 USC §103 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive. Regarding remarks in pages 10-11 for i ndependent claim 1 , applicant argues that HE or EP_20189688.3_ Haustein fails to teach the currently amended claimed limitation, such as , “ wherein the set of reporting information is indicative of a battery working time of the terminal and associated with a minimization of driving test (MDT) measurement result ”, examiner agrees, however, in the analogous art, Kim et al. ( 2022/0116802 [Wingdings font/0xF3] new reference, See PTO-892 ) discloses the limitation as mapped in the §103 rejection. For these reasons, it is maintained that independent claim 1 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over HE, in view of Kim . For similar reasons, it is maintained that independent claim 12 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over HE, in view of EP_20189688.3_ Haustein, further in view of Kim . As all other dependent claims depend either directly or indirectly from the independent claims 1 and 12, similar rationale also applies to all respective dependent claims . Conclusion 07-40 AIA Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL . See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a). A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action. In the event a first reply is filed within TWO MONTHS of the mailing date of this final action and the advisory action is not mailed until after the end of the THREE-MONTH shortened statutory period, then the shortened statutory period will expire on the date the advisory action is mailed, and any nonprovisional extension fee (37 CFR 1.17(a)) pursuant to 37 CFR 1.136(a) will be calculated from the mailing date of the advisory action. In no event, however, will the statutory period for reply expire later than SIX MONTHS from the mailing date of this final action. 07-96 AIA The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure.
