Carrier Aggregation Combination Generation With Fallback Status Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Generating new carrier aggregation (CA) combinations for standardization is difficult, time-intensive, and error-prone, particularly in identifying and ensuring the standardization status of corresponding fallback CA combinations, which hinders network improvements and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A system and method to automatically generate a set of fallback CA combinations and determine their standardization statuses, using a band combination engine and database to streamline the process and reduce errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual methods are used to generate and verify CA combinations for standardization, then flexibility and adaptability are maintained, but the process becomes difficult, time-intensive, and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates fallback CA combinations and determines their standardization statuses in advance before actual standardization submission is needed. The band combination database stores pre-computed fallback options and their standardization states, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual verification during the standardization process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates fallback CA combinations and determines their standardization statuses without requiring manual intervention. The band combination engine self-services by querying the database, identifying valid fallback combinations, and determining their standardization states autonomously, reducing human effort and errors.
2Reliability
If comprehensive verification of fallback CA combination standardization status is performed, then accuracy and reliability are improved, but the complexity of the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The band combination database serves as an intermediary between the band combination engine and the standardization verification process. It pre-stores standardization statuses of various CA combinations, allowing the engine to quickly query and verify fallback combination statuses without performing complex real-time analysis, thus simplifying the verification process while maintaining accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fallback CA combinations are generated and verified, then network robustness and adaptability are improved, but the time and resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-computes and stores multiple valid fallback CA combinations along with their standardization statuses in the band combination database. When standardization is needed, the engine can quickly retrieve and select from these pre-verified combinations, maintaining high adaptability without sacrificing productivity during the actual submission process.
Data Source
AI summary
An entity may submit a carrier aggregation (CA) combination, such as a CA combination that includes at least two carriers that can be used for data transmissions by user equipment and a telecommunication network, to be standardized by a standards organization. A band combination engine can be configured to evaluate the CA combination that is to be submitted for standardization, for example by automatically determining a set of fallback CA combinations that could be used if different carriers of the CA combination were to be lost. The band combination engine can also automatically determine standardization statuses of the fallback CA combinations, to identify whether the fallback CA combinations have already been standardized, have already been submitted for standardization, or should be submitted for standardization along with the CA combination itself.
