Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently handling configuration errors, leading to debugging delays, power consumption issues, and connection failures due to incorrect or missing configuration parameters, which are not effectively addressed by current methods.

Innovation Solution

Implementing dynamic configuration failure messaging, where user equipment (UE) autonomously transmits a reconfiguration error message to the network node, enabling quick identification and correction of configuration errors, reducing debugging time and power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If configuration errors are handled using existing wireless communication methods, then the system maintains basic communication functionality, but debugging time increases and power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedebugging timeVSAvoidconfiguration error handling reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the UE sends a reconfiguration error message back to the network node when a configuration error is detected. This feedback loop enables the network node to identify and correct configuration errors efficiently, reducing debugging time while maintaining reliable error handling through structured error reporting and correction protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary action by having the UE autonomously detect and report configuration errors before they cause connection failures. The reconfiguration error message is transmitted proactively to the network node, enabling preventive correction of configuration issues and reducing the time needed for debugging and resolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If configuration errors are not effectively addressed, then communication continuity is maintained, but connection failures occur due to incorrect or missing configuration parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiderror resolution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the UE to autonomously detect configuration errors and transmit reconfiguration error messages without requiring manual intervention. The UE independently monitors its configuration, identifies errors, and initiates the error reporting process, thereby improving connection reliability while enhancing error resolution efficiency through automated procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback mechanism allows the network node to receive configuration error information from the UE and implement corrections systematically. This structured feedback approach ensures reliable error handling and improves error resolution efficiency by enabling targeted corrections rather than comprehensive manual debugging

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Use of energy by moving object

If existing error handling methods are used, then system complexity is maintained, but power consumption increases due to continuous monitoring and debugging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiderror handling mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by having the UE monitor and report only specific configuration errors that affect connection reliability, rather than continuously monitoring all possible configuration parameters. This selective monitoring approach reduces power consumption while maintaining manageable system complexity through targeted error detection and reporting mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
