Solution Overview

Problem

In telecommunications, existing Dual Connectivity (DC) systems require repeated negotiation for candidate cell preparation during Conditional PSCell Change (CPC) or Conditional PSCell Addition (CPA) procedures, leading to increased signaling overhead and resource consumption.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method generates and retains execution conditions for candidate cells, allowing direct subsequent conditional execution without re-negotiation after an initial cell change or addition, enabling efficient Subsequent Conditional PSCell Change (CPC) or Addition (CPA) by User Equipment (UE) when predefined conditions are met.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If repeated negotiation is performed for candidate cell preparation during Conditional PSCell Change or Addition procedures, then the system can ensure reliable cell selection, but signaling overhead and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell selection reliabilityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network node prepares and stores execution conditions for candidate cells in advance during the initial Conditional PSCell Change or Addition procedure. These pre-prepared execution conditions include measurement criteria and configuration parameters that can be directly applied in subsequent conditional executions without requiring re-negotiation, thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining reliable cell selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If repeated negotiation is performed for candidate cell preparation, then cell configuration can be updated, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell configuration flexibilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The network node pre-preares and stores execution conditions including measurement criteria and configuration parameters during the initial procedure. These pre-prepared conditions enable the UE to directly execute subsequent conditional PSCell Change or Addition without re-negotiating with the network node, thereby maintaining configuration flexibility while significantly reducing resource consumption and energy usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If repeated negotiation is performed for candidate cell preparation, then new cells can be selected, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell selection capabilityVSAvoidprocedure time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The network node prepares and stores execution conditions for candidate cells in advance during the initial Conditional PSCell Change or Addition procedure. These pre-prepared execution conditions are stored and can be directly applied in subsequent conditional executions when measurement events occur, eliminating the need for re-negotiation and significantly reducing procedure time while maintaining cell selection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The UE continuously monitors execution conditions based on pre-configured measurement criteria. When a measurement event occurs and the execution condition is met, the UE can directly trigger the subsequent conditional execution using the pre-stored configuration, creating a feedback loop that enables rapid cell selection without time-consuming re-negotiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
