Solution Overview

Problem

In mobile communication systems, when a mobile terminal moves from a base station with low-capacity radio configuration to one with high-capacity, it often maintains a low-capacity radio configuration, limiting the capacity of the new base station.

Innovation Solution

A base station controller detects the handover and instructs the mobile terminal to switch from a low-capacity to a high-capacity radio configuration mode, enabling the mobile terminal to utilize the higher capacity resources of the new base station.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a mobile terminal maintains the same radio configuration mode after handover to ensure compatibility and ease of operation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the capacity of the base station is reduced
