Solution Overview

Problem

Existing 5G mobile terminals use fixed paging cycles, which cannot meet the varying service requirements of different service modes, such as latency and power consumption needs.

Innovation Solution

A method to adjust the paging cycle of an electronic terminal based on the service requirements of the second service mode, by determining the target paging cycle according to the specific latency and power consumption requirements, and adjusting it accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed paging cycle is used, then the terminal can simply receive paging messages, but it cannot meet different service requirements of the terminal in different service modes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice requirement adaptabilityVSAvoidpaging cycle adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed paging cycle to a dynamic paging cycle that can be adjusted based on service mode. The terminal determines the service mode and selects or calculates an appropriate paging cycle accordingly, making the system adaptable to different service requirements while maintaining manageable complexity through rule-based adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of paging cycle based on service mode requirements. Different service modes (e.g., voice call, data communication, emergency services) correspond to different paging cycle values, allowing the system to optimize performance for each specific service type while avoiding the need for completely different systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If the paging cycle is reduced to meet high latency requirements, then latency performance improves, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovelatencyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the paging cycle parameter based on the specific service mode and its requirements. For services with high latency requirements (like voice calls or emergency services), the system selects a shorter paging cycle. For services where power consumption is critical and latency is less important, the system uses a longer paging cycle, thus optimizing the trade-off between these two parameters for each service type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by selecting paging cycles that are optimized for specific service requirements rather than using a single universal setting. It determines the minimum necessary paging cycle length needed to meet service requirements, avoiding excessive action (overly frequent wake-ups) when not needed, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption while ensuring adequate latency performance when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
