Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems struggle with inefficient timer duration configurations that do not consider the behavioral characteristics of user equipment (UE), leading to increased service interruption times and frequent reestablishment processes due to mismatched timer durations in rapidly changing environments.
Innovation Solution
A timer control method utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for adaptive adjustment of timer durations based on duration-related and state information, allowing communication devices to dynamically optimize timer operations according to their specific conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If timer durations are configured by network side using traditional methods, then configuration simplicity is maintained, but timer durations do not adapt to rapidly changing environments causing service interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic timer duration adjustment by enabling communication devices to autonomously modify timer durations based on real-time state information and environmental conditions. The device transitions from static network-configured timers to dynamic self-adjusting timers that adapt to changing communication scenarios, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication device is empowered with autonomous timer management capabilities, allowing it to self-adjust timer durations without continuous network intervention. The device uses its own state information and received duration-related information to make intelligent decisions, reducing dependency on network configuration while improving adaptability to local conditions.
2Loss of time
If timer durations are fixed by network configuration, then network control is maintained, but service interruption time increases in rapidly changing environments
Solution Approach 1:
The network side pre-configures duration-related information that enables the communication device to perform preliminary adjustments of timer durations based on anticipated or detected environmental changes. This preliminary action allows the device to proactively adjust timers before service interruptions occur, reducing time loss while maintaining reasonable network control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the communication device monitors its own state information and environmental conditions, then uses this feedback to autonomously adjust timer durations. The feedback loop enables real-time adaptation without network intervention, significantly reducing service interruption time in dynamic environments.
3Reliability
If timer durations are extended to prevent reestablishment, then connection stability improves, but access latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically changes the timer duration parameter based on communication conditions, device state, and duration-related information. Instead of using fixed extended timers, the system adjusts timer durations adaptively - extending them when stability is needed and reducing them when quick access is required, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and access latency.
