Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of methods for allocating and managing identifiers for idle-state mobile stations with no mobility in wireless communication systems, which hinders efficient identification and communication management.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where a base station receives mobility information from mobile stations and allocates a unique identifier to idle-state mobile stations with no mobility, allowing for efficient identification and communication optimization by transmitting this identifier back to the mobile stations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a base station manages all mobile stations using traditional identification methods, then general communication functionality is maintained, but idle-state mobile stations with no mobility cannot be efficiently identified or managed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification efficiencyVSAvoididentification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments mobile stations into different categories based on mobility characteristics. It introduces a specific identifier type (F-TEMSI) dedicated to fixed/mobile-station-with-no-mobility in idle state, separating them from mobile stations that require traditional mobility management. This segmentation enables efficient identification of the specific subset of MSs without complicating the overall system for other MS types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional identifier allocation methods are used for all mobile stations, then universal compatibility is maintained, but specific needs of idle-state mobile stations with no mobility are not met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentifier allocation adaptabilityVSAvoidmobility information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the identifier allocation method dependent on the specific characteristics of the mobile station. When a mobile station has no mobility and is in idle state, the base station allocates a specific F-TEMSI identifier. This localized adaptation ensures that identifier allocation is tailored to the specific needs of each MS type, preserving mobility information through appropriate identifier selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of energy

If mobile stations frequently enter and exit idle state, then power saving and resource optimization are achieved, but identification and management overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoididentification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by allocating the F-TEMSI identifier to mobile stations when they transition to idle state with no mobility. This pre-allocation ensures that when these MSs need to be identified or woken up, the base station already has the appropriate identifier ready, eliminating the need for time-consuming identifier allocation procedures during each idle state transition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed are a method and a device for transmitting/receiving an identifier for a no-mobility mobile station in an idle state in a wireless communication system. In a base station device for transmitting an identifier for a no-mobility mobile station in an idle state, according to the present invention, a receiver receives information on mobility from at least one mobile station. A processor allocates, to the at least one no-mobility mobile station in an idle state, at least one identifier for a no-mobility mobile station in an idle state for a no-mobility mobile station in an idle state on the basis of the information on mobility. A transmitter transmits the allocated identifier to the at least one no-mobility mobile station in an idle state.
