Solution Overview

Problem

PS-LTE terminals in idle mode experience buffering and frequent cell reselection when moved between cells, leading to delayed data decoding and increased buffering, especially in public safety network services.

Innovation Solution

The base station adjusts cell reselection configuration parameters, such as hysteresis and offset information, to minimize frequent cell reselections and optimize cell reselection for PS-LTE terminals, allowing them to remain in the serving cell longer without affecting paging performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If PS-LTE terminals perform frequent cell reselection in idle mode, then they can maintain optimal connection quality, but buffering increases and data decoding is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection qualityVSAvoiddata decoding delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a dedicated hysteresis parameter (q-Hyst-PS) and offset parameter (q-OffsetCell-PS) specifically for PS-LTE terminals. These parameters modify the cell reselection criteria to reduce frequent reselections, thereby decreasing buffering and data decoding delay while maintaining connection quality reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If cell reselection parameters are adjusted to reduce frequent reselections, then buffering is reduced, but paging performance may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebuffering durationVSAvoidpaging performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing separate cell reselection parameters specifically for PS-LTE terminals (q-Hyst-PS and q-OffsetCell-PS) rather than using uniform parameters for all terminals. This localized parameter configuration reduces buffering for PS-LTE terminals while maintaining appropriate paging performance through terminal-type specific optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
