Solution Overview

Problem

There is no solution for user equipment (UE) to obtain sensing service information from the network side regarding which sensing services the network can provide, particularly in cellular mobile communication systems.

Innovation Solution

The Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) receives request information from UE via a base station and sends sensing service capability information to the UE, indicating allowed and prohibited registration areas for sensing, using a registration accept message.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If integrated sensing and communication is implemented in cellular mobile communication systems, then sensing capabilities are provided by wireless communication systems, but there is no solution for user equipment to obtain sensing service information from the network side

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing service capabilityVSAvoidsensing service information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The network side provides feedback to the UE about sensing service capability information through the AMF. The AMF sends registration accept messages containing sensing service capability information to the UE, enabling the UE to understand what sensing services are available in the network and make informed decisions about service selection and resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If sensing service capability information is provided to UE, then sensing service reliability is improved, but communication protocol complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing service reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication protocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AMF is assigned multiple functions: it serves as both the mobility management function and the sensing service information provision function. By integrating these functions in a single network element, the patent avoids creating additional complex protocol interactions between multiple separate entities, thereby limiting the increase in overall protocol complexity while improving sensing service reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The AMF acts as an intermediary between the UE and the sensing services. It receives sensing service capability information from the network side and forwards it to the UE through standardized registration procedures, simplifying the interaction model and avoiding direct complex protocols between UEs and sensing service providers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
