eUICC Notification Retry Management for Power Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic devices with embedded eUICC, repeated notification attempts to external servers for profile management can lead to resource and power wastage when responses are not successful, as current systems do not efficiently handle failure responses.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is configured with a wireless communication circuit, a secure element storing profile information including notification configuration, and a processor that obtains notification configuration, transmits profile management notifications, and retries transmissions based on failure responses from external servers, utilizing notification configuration information to manage retry timers and counts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the LPA repeatedly retries notification transmission until success, then the notification will eventually be delivered, but resources and power are wasted due to continuous retry attempts
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by obtaining notification configuration information (including retry counts and timer settings) before attempting notification transmission. This pre-configuration allows the system to execute retries according to predetermined parameters rather than continuously, preventing unnecessary power consumption while ensuring reliable delivery within defined limits.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by using notification configuration information to dynamically adjust retry behavior. Instead of fixed continuous retrying, the system modifies the retry process based on configured retry counts and timer intervals, optimizing the balance between delivery reliability and energy consumption.
2Reliability
If the LPA continuously retries notification transmission, then notification delivery is ensured, but resource waste occurs due to repeated transmission attempts
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by obtaining notification configuration information (including retry counts and timer settings) before attempting notification transmission. This pre-configuration allows the system to execute retries according to predetermined parameters rather than continuously, preventing unnecessary resource consumption while ensuring reliable delivery within defined limits.

3Loss of energy
If the system implements efficient retry management with configuration information, then power and resource waste is reduced, but device complexity increases due to additional configuration handling
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by having the secure element store notification configuration information (retry counts, timer settings) that the LPA automatically retrieves and uses for retry management. This self-configuring approach reduces the need for complex external control mechanisms while improving power efficiency through intelligent retry behavior.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback by obtaining notification configuration information from the secure element and using it to adjust retry behavior based on transmission outcomes. This feedback mechanism enables automatic optimization of retry parameters without requiring complex external control systems.
