Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The enhanced capabilities in recent wireless communication systems, such as LTE and NR, lead to increased power consumption and network hypersensitivity, posing challenges in efficiently managing the capabilities of communication apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus equipped with a radio transceiver and a processing circuit that reports its capabilities to a network device, determines if specific events occur, releases and re-establishes connections as needed, updates its capabilities, and proactively informs the network of these updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If enhanced capability is implemented in communication apparatus, then communication performance is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic capability adjustment by allowing the communication apparatus to switch between different capability sets based on operational conditions. The apparatus can activate or deactivate specific capabilities through capability update indications sent to the network device, enabling adaptive power management that balances performance needs with energy consumption constraints.
2Reliability
If enhanced capability is implemented in communication apparatus, then communication performance is improved, but network hypersensitivity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic capability adjustment by allowing the communication apparatus to switch between different capability sets based on operational conditions. The apparatus can activate or deactivate specific capabilities through capability update indications sent to the network device, enabling adaptive management that balances performance needs with network compatibility and reduces network hypersensitivity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If capability is updated dynamically, then adaptability to different conditions is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the communication apparatus monitors its operational state and network conditions, then sends capability update indications to the network device when capability changes are needed. The network device responds with appropriate configuration updates, creating a closed-loop system that manages complexity through structured interaction rather than requiring complex local decision-making logic.

AI summary
A communication apparatus includes a radio transceiver, configured to transmit or receive wireless signals with a network device; and a processing circuit, coupled to the radio transceiver and configured to perform operations including: reporting a first capability of the communication apparatus to the network device; determining whether at least one first event occurs, after reporting the first capability; releasing a connection between the communication apparatus and the network device, in response to the at least one first event occurring; establishing the connection to indicate a capability update; updating the first capability to generate a second capability of the communication apparatus; reporting the second capability to the network device.
