IM Paging via USI Access Network for Idle Mode MS
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems face inefficiencies in power and resource consumption, as well as time delays, due to the lack of a specified data transmission/reception scheme for Instant Messaging (IM) services, particularly when transitioning between active and idle modes, and the inability to identify service types until data receipt.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a Universal Service Interface (USI) access network to enable efficient data transmission/reception for IM services by allowing a first Mobile Station (MS) to request paging or SMS functions to an IM server, which determines the access network's USI support and provides appropriate options for transmitting IM service data to a second MS operating in idle mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the MS maintains a radio connection with the RAS to receive data of all service types, then the MS can receive data immediately when service is generated, but the MS suffers from unnecessary power and resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The MS pre-activates applications for all supported service types before receiving data, so that when data arrives, the appropriate application is already ready to handle it. This eliminates the need to maintain continuous radio connection while avoiding activation delays, resolving the contradiction between immediate data reception and power consumption.
2Productivity
If the MS activates all applications before receiving data, then the MS can immediately process received data, but the MS suffers from unnecessary power and memory consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The MS activates applications in advance based on predicted service types or common usage patterns, ensuring that when data arrives, the processing application is already ready. This preliminary activation improves data processing speed while avoiding the continuous power consumption of keeping all applications permanently active.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows the MS to autonomously determine which applications to activate based on local criteria such as recent usage patterns or service type predictions, rather than requiring network-controlled activation of all applications. This self-service approach improves responsiveness while reducing unnecessary power consumption.
3Productivity
If the MS activates all applications before receiving data, then the MS can immediately process received data, but the MS suffers from unnecessary memory consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The MS activates only the necessary applications in advance based on service type identification or usage patterns, rather than activating all possible applications. This selective preliminary activation ensures fast data processing while minimizing memory consumption by keeping only relevant applications in memory.
4Adaptability or versatility
If there is no specified data transmission/reception scheme for Instant Messaging, then the system can support multiple communication services, but the system lacks efficiency for IM service delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission process into distinct phases: service type identification, targeted application activation, and data reception. This segmentation allows the system to maintain general versatility for multiple services while implementing efficient IM-specific handling through dedicated processing paths for instant messaging services.

AI summary
A method and system for transmitting/receiving data in a communication system are provided, in which upon generation of IM service data to be transmitted to a second MS, a first MS requests paging to a second MS to an IM server, the IM server transmits a paging message to the second MS in response to the paging request, and the second MS receives the IM service data from the first MS, after receiving the paging message.
