Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems lack efficient utilization of context information from user equipment, leading to suboptimal resource allocation and increased costs due to inefficient radio resource management.

Innovation Solution

A method where a base station receives and utilizes context information from user equipment to optimize radio resource allocation, including scheduling and location information, by transmitting context request and response messages to select appropriate base stations and reserve resources dynamically.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If context information is collected and utilized from user equipment, then radio resource allocation is optimized and service quality is improved, but system complexity increases due to additional context management procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradio resource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidcontext management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting context information from user equipment before actual communication occurs. The base station obtains context capability information, context type information, and actual context information (scheduling, location, time) in advance, allowing for proactive resource allocation and optimization without increasing operational complexity during active communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the base station receives context capability information and context type information from the terminal, processes this information to determine appropriate context information to request, and adjusts resource allocation based on the received context information. This iterative feedback loop enables optimization while managing complexity through structured information exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple context information types are collected from terminals, then service customization is improved, but information processing overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice customization capabilityVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and processes only the necessary context information types relevant to each specific service scenario. The base station determines which context information to request based on the service requirements, extracting only scheduling information, location information, or time information that are actually needed, rather than processing all possible context types, thereby reducing processing overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by tailoring the context information collection and processing to specific local needs of each terminal and service scenario. Different terminals provide different context information based on their capabilities and service requirements, and the base station processes only the relevant portions, optimizing the balance between customization and processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Quantity of substance

If radio resources are allocated dynamically based on context information, then resource utilization is improved, but control signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradio resource utilizationVSAvoidcontrol signaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary resource allocation actions by obtaining context information in advance and using it to pre-determine optimal resource distribution. The base station collects context capability information, context type information, and actual context information before active resource allocation occurs, enabling proactive decisions that reduce the need for continuous control signaling during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal equipment participates in the resource allocation process by providing its own context information (scheduling, location, time) and capabilities. This self-service approach allows terminals to contribute to their own resource optimization, reducing the burden on the base station for continuous control signaling and enabling more efficient resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
