Solution Overview

Problem

Existing measurement configurations in communication systems cause delays when a reconfiguration of access technologies occurs, leading to unnecessary processing complexity and resource waste due to the deletion of stored report information and stopping of all report timers for access technologies that are not reconfigured.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that identify a target access technology and its corresponding measurement index identifier, allowing for the selective deletion of stored report information and stopping of report timers only for that technology, thereby reducing processing complexity and avoiding resource waste.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If all report information and report timers are deleted/stopped during access technology reconfiguration, then measurement configuration consistency is maintained, but processing complexity increases and resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemeasurement configuration consistencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the report information and report timers by access technology type, maintaining separate management for each access technology. When reconfiguration occurs, only the specific access technology's report information is cleared while others remain intact, avoiding the need to process and clear all report information universally.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by making the report information deletion and timer stopping operations selective rather than universal. The system identifies and processes only the specific access technology that requires reconfiguration, leaving other access technologies unaffected, thereby reducing overall processing complexity and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Stability of the object's composition

If all report information is deleted during reconfiguration, then configuration consistency is ensured, but time delay occurs due to re-measurement

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconfiguration consistencyVSAvoidmeasurement report delay

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments report information management by access technology, allowing selective deletion only for the reconfigured access technology. This segmentation prevents the need to delete and re-measure all access technologies, thereby reducing the time delay while maintaining configuration consistency for the affected technology.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by restricting the deletion and re-measurement operations to only the specific access technology that underwent reconfiguration. Other access technologies retain their existing report information and continue normal operations, thus avoiding unnecessary time delays while ensuring configuration consistency where needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Stability of the object's composition

If all report timers are stopped during reconfiguration, then measurement synchronization is maintained, but resource waste increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemeasurement synchronizationVSAvoidresource waste

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments report timer management by access technology, maintaining independent timer control for each access technology. When reconfiguration occurs, only the timer associated with the reconfigured access technology is stopped, while timers for other access technologies continue running, thereby reducing resource waste while maintaining synchronization where necessary.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by making timer stopping operations selective rather than universal. The system identifies and stops only the report timer corresponding to the reconfigured access technology, allowing other timers to continue their normal function without interruption, thus minimizing resource consumption while maintaining measurement synchronization for the affected technology.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
