Access Attempt Type Mapping to Network Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication networks, existing technologies inefficiently use network resources, leading to suboptimal allocation and prioritization of access attempts based on the type of service or data being transmitted.
Innovation Solution
The method involves mapping access attempt types to specific network configurations, determining the appropriate configuration based on the establishment cause, user equipment policy, or network policy, and transmitting this mapping to remote units, which allows for prioritization and efficient resource allocation by configuring physical and data link layer parameters, such as PRACH resources, power ramping, and backoff timers.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If network resources are allocated uniformly without differentiation, then device complexity is reduced, but network resource efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments network resources into multiple configurations (first network configuration, second network configuration, etc.) based on access attempt types. Each configuration is assigned to specific access attempt types through mapping relationships, allowing differentiated resource allocation. This segmentation enables efficient resource utilization by matching appropriate resources to different service requirements without requiring complex centralized control.
2Reliability
If access attempts are prioritized based on establishment cause, then service reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes mapping relationships between access attempt types and network configurations in advance, before actual access attempts occur. These pre-defined mappings are stored and automatically consulted when access attempts are made, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making. The establishment cause is used to identify the access attempt type, which then directly maps to the appropriate pre-configured network configuration, ensuring reliable service prioritization with minimal processing complexity.
3Productivity
If multiple network configurations are maintained for different access attempt types, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an access attempt type as an intermediary concept that bridges the establishment cause and the network configuration. Instead of directly managing complex mappings between establishment causes and configurations, the system uses access attempt types as a simplified intermediate layer. This intermediary abstraction reduces information management overhead by providing a clear, manageable mapping structure that connects service requirements to resource allocations.

AI summary
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for mapping an access attempt type to a network configuration. One method includes determining a mapping between the access attempt type and a first network resource partition of multiple network configurations. Determining a mapping between the access attempt type and a first network configuration is based at least partly on an establishment cause of the access attempt type. The method includes transmitting the mapping to a remote unit.
