Solution Overview

Problem

Current network devices manage terminal device models based solely on the case of downlink data reception, leading to inaccurate model management due to various factors affecting data reception.

Innovation Solution

Implement a communication method where terminal devices and network devices exchange information about the state of their channel information determining functions, enabling more accurate management of models by considering current and future states, and adjusting strategies such as model activation, deactivation, or switching based on this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the network device manages the terminal device model based only on the case of downlink data reception, then the model management process is simple, but the accuracy of model management is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of model managementVSAvoidcomplexity of model management process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device feeds back state information of its channel information determining functions (first function using any model, second function using first model) to the network device. This feedback mechanism enables the network device to make informed model management decisions based on actual terminal device function states, thereby improving model management accuracy without significantly increasing process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device determines and reports the state of its channel information determining functions in advance before the network device needs to manage the model. This preliminary action provides the network device with timely information about terminal device capabilities and states, enabling proactive and accurate model management decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the terminal device sends detailed state information about channel information determining functions, then the accuracy of model management improves, but the communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of model managementVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential state information needed for model management decisions from the terminal device's channel information determining functions. Specifically, it reports whether the first function and second function are valid or invalid, rather than transmitting all possible operational parameters. This selective extraction achieves accurate model management while minimizing communication overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of time

If the network device manages models based on current state only, then the response is fast, but the timeliness of model management is insufficient for future conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetimeliness of model managementVSAvoidcomplexity of state information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device determines not only the current state but also the future state of its channel information determining functions and reports this information to the network device in advance. This allows the network device to proactively manage models before actual state changes occur, improving timeliness without requiring complex real-time monitoring and response mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
