Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital cluster communication systems face challenges in ensuring group users access their groups while avoiding resource waste, as resource allocation is either insufficient if the scheduling area is too small or excessive if it's too large.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for dynamic resource configuration that acquires a list of base stations and tracking areas where registered subscription user equipment is located and configures resources only for those areas, ensuring users can access their groups without wasting resources by allocating resources based on the actual user presence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the scheduling area is set to be large, then group users can access the group successfully, but system resources are wasted in cells having no user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegroup access success rateVSAvoidsystem resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource configuration by continuously monitoring user equipment locations and adjusting the scheduling area and resource allocation in real-time. The network side determines which base stations and tracking areas need group resources based on current user positions, rather than using a fixed preset scheduling area. This dynamic adjustment ensures resources are allocated only where needed, preventing waste in empty cells while maintaining reliable group access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by allocating group resources selectively to specific base stations and tracking areas where users are actually located, rather than uniformly across the entire preset scheduling area. The network side identifies the specific locations of user equipment and configures resources only in those local areas, ensuring efficient resource utilization while maintaining service quality where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of energy

If the scheduling area is set to be small, then system resources are saved, but group users located outside the scheduling area cannot access the group

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem resource efficiencyVSAvoidgroup access availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically expands or contracts the effective scheduling area based on real-time user locations. When users move to new areas, the network side updates the base station list and tracking area list to include the new locations, automatically extending resource allocation to cover the expanded area. This ensures the scheduling area is always appropriately sized to include all users without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The network side proactively monitors user equipment locations and anticipates movement patterns. By maintaining updated base station and tracking area lists that reflect current user positions, the system prepares resource allocation in advance for areas where users are likely to be or move to, ensuring seamless group access without waiting for users to request service in new areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If preset scheduling area is used for resource allocation, then resource configuration is simple, but it cannot adapt to user movement and location changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource configuration simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to user location
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static preset scheduling area into a dynamic configuration that automatically adapts to user movements. The network side continuously updates the base station list and tracking area list based on user equipment locations, enabling the scheduling area to flexibly expand or contract as users move. This maintains simplicity by automating the adaptation process rather than requiring manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user equipment locations and using this information to automatically adjust resource allocation. The network side receives location information from users, processes this feedback, and accordingly updates the base station and tracking area lists to reflect current user positions, creating a closed-loop system that continuously adapts to changing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present invention provides a resource configuration method, a resource deletion method and a device. The resource configuration method includes: receiving a group establishment request, where the group establishment request carries a group identifier of a group to be established; acquiring, according to the group identifier of the group to be established, a base station list of the group to be established and a tracking area list of the group to be established; where, the base station list of the group to be established includes a base station in which a registered subscription user equipment of the group to be established locates at present, the tracking area list of the group to be established includes a tracking area in which the registered subscription user equipment of the group to be established locates at present; if the base station list of the group to be established is not empty, configuring, according to the base station list of the group to be established and the tracking area list of the group to be established, a resource for the group to be established.
