Base Station Radio Resource Control for 5G Overheating
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods cannot reset increased radio resources for an electronic device at a base station unless the device explicitly requests it, which can deteriorate user experience due to potential overheating issues in 5G communication systems.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a base station can autonomously reset increased radio resources for an electronic device, even without a request from the device, by receiving an assistance information message related to overheating and subsequently transmitting RRC connection reconfiguration messages to allocate reduced and then increased radio resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the base station waits for an explicit request from the electronic device to reset radio resources, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user experience deteriorates due to potential overheating issues
Solution Approach 1:
The base station performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring overheating conditions and resetting radio resources before the device requests it. The base station receives assistance information indicating overheating, autonomously determines to reset the radio resource, and transmits the reset command without waiting for an explicit device request, thus preventing overheating-related user experience degradation.
2Reliability
If the base station autonomously resets increased radio resources without device request, then the user experience is improved by preventing overheating, but the base station control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station uses feedback from assistance information transmitted by the device to trigger autonomous radio resource resetting. When the base station receives assistance information indicating overheating conditions, it processes this feedback and autonomously determines to reset the radio resource, enabling reliable overheating prevention while maintaining manageable control complexity through event-driven operation.
3Reliability
If the base station proactively monitors and resets radio resources, then the reliability of overheating prevention is improved, but the loss of time for resource management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station performs preliminary monitoring and proactive resetting of radio resources based on received assistance information, acting before overheating causes service degradation. This preliminary action ensures reliable overheating prevention while minimizing time loss by addressing the issue at its early stage rather than waiting for problems to manifest.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station rushes through the resource management process by immediately processing assistance information and autonomously resetting radio resources without prolonged deliberation or waiting for additional device requests. This rapid response minimizes the time spent on resource management while ensuring reliable overheating prevention.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for controlling a radio resource of an electronic device are disclosed. According to various embodiments of the present invention, the method can comprise the steps of: receiving, from an electronic device, an assistance information message related to overheating of the electronic device using a first radio resource; transmitting, to the electronic device, a first radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message for allocating, to the electronic device, a second radio resource that has been reduced more than the first radio resource; receiving, from the electronic device, a first RRC reconfiguration completion message as a response to the first RRC connection reconfiguration message; and transmitting, to the electronic device, a second RRC connection reconfiguration message for allocating, to the electronic device, a third radio resource that has been expanded more than the second radio resource at a first time point after the first RRC reconfiguration completion message has been received.
