Access Entity Paging Control for Mobile Network Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mobile communication systems face inefficiencies in paging user equipment (UE) due to frequent network registration procedures and unnecessary paging in areas where the UE cannot be located, leading to reduced efficiency in UE paging.
Innovation Solution
A method where the UE registers with access entities of multiple networks, and during location updates, the access entity determines if the UE's current location satisfies certain conditions, such as distance or association thresholds, to prohibit paging in the originally associated network's area, allowing paging only in the current network's area, thereby optimizing UE location tracking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the UE registers with access entities of multiple networks to ensure continuous connectivity, then the UE can be reached in any network, but frequent network registration procedures cause unnecessary signaling and time delay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing association relationships between access entities of different networks before the UE actually needs to be paged. The network side proactively manages these associations and determines when to prohibit paging in originally associated networks based on UE location conditions, avoiding the need for frequent registration procedures while ensuring UE reachability.
2Reliability
If the network pages the UE in multiple network areas to ensure delivery, then the UE can be reached, but unnecessary paging in areas where the UE cannot be located reduces paging efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the paging strategy for different network areas based on the UE's current location conditions. The network determines whether to prohibit paging in originally associated networks by evaluating local conditions such as distance thresholds or association validity, thereby optimizing paging efficiency in each specific area while maintaining overall reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the paging prohibition decision based on changing parameters such as UE location, distance thresholds, and association validity periods. When parameters indicate the UE is no longer in the originally associated network area, the system changes the paging parameter to prohibit paging in that network, improving efficiency without sacrificing reliability.
3Productivity
If the access entity prohibits paging in the originally associated network's area, then paging efficiency is improved, but the UE may be missed if location conditions are not accurately determined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by continuously monitoring UE location conditions and using this information to adjust paging decisions. The network side receives feedback about the UE's current location and association status, and based on this feedback determines whether to prohibit paging in originally associated networks, ensuring both efficiency and reliability through adaptive decision-making.

AI summary
The present invention relates to communication field, and discloses a mobile communication method. As can be seen from various embodiments, in the process of the access entity performing a location update for the UE or performing a UE access procedure, when the UE needs to be paged, the UE is paged in the paging area administered by the access entity and it is prohibited to page the UE in the paging area administered by the access entity in the other network.
