Solution Overview

Problem

The fixed division of carrier aggregation capabilities for dual SIM cards in a DSDA mode restricts the available bands and data transmission speed of terminal devices, limiting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A terminal device coordinates carrier aggregation capabilities by reporting serving cell information or band combination lists to an access network device using a secondary user identity, allowing dynamic adjustment of available bands for both SIM cards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If fixed division is used to specify bands for each SIM card, then device complexity is reduced, but data transmission speed and adaptability are restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveband allocation complexityVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic band allocation where the network device adjusts the available band list for each SIM card based on real-time carrier aggregation status. When one SIM card is in carrier aggregation, the network device dynamically modifies the band list for the other SIM card, enabling flexible adaptation without fixed pre-configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of band availability by providing different band lists to different SIM cards based on their current carrier aggregation state. The network device modifies system parameters (available bands) dynamically rather than using static configuration, allowing optimal band selection for each SIM card's current operational state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If fixed division is used to specify bands for each SIM card, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability of carrier aggregation capabilities is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveband configuration simplicityVSAvoidcarrier aggregation adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static band configuration to dynamic band allocation. The network device automatically adjusts the available band list for each SIM card based on real-time carrier aggregation status, eliminating the need for manual fixed configuration while providing adaptive carrier aggregation support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The network device performs self-service by automatically determining and providing appropriate band lists to SIM cards based on their carrier aggregation state. This eliminates manual configuration requirements while ensuring optimal band allocation adapts to changing operational conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If one SIM card occupies certain bands, then those bands are unavailable for the other SIM card, but this restricts the available band of each SIM card and reduces data transmission speed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveband allocation stabilityVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic band list provision where the network device adjusts the available bands for each SIM card based on real-time carrier aggregation status. When SIM card 1 is in carrier aggregation, the network device dynamically modifies the band list for SIM card 2, allowing flexible band sharing that maintains stability while enabling higher data transmission speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
