Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in efficiently controlling cell access for IoT-type devices and non-IoT-type devices, particularly in scenarios where their differing requirements and bandwidths lead to interference and increased costs.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method for cell access control that uses first and second indication information to separately manage IoT-type and non-IoT-type devices, allowing network devices to indicate whether each type is allowed to access a cell, thereby avoiding interference and optimizing bandwidth utilization.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If separate indication information is used for IoT-type and non-IoT-type devices, then cell access interference is reduced and bandwidth utilization is optimized, but device complexity and system overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the cell access control mechanism by introducing separate indication information for IoT-type devices and non-IoT-type devices. The network device transmits first indication information specifically for IoT devices and second indication information for non-IoT devices, allowing independent control of access parameters for each device type. This segmentation enables optimized bandwidth allocation and interference reduction while maintaining manageable complexity through structured information transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If indication information is transmitted for each device type, then access control flexibility is improved, but network overhead and transmission costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control flexibilityVSAvoidnetwork overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal indication information transmission mechanism where the network device sends both first indication information (for IoT devices) and second indication information (for non-IoT devices) through a unified cell access control framework. This multi-functional approach allows the same transmission channel to serve multiple device types with different requirements, achieving flexible access control while efficiently utilizing network resources and minimizing overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If IoT-type devices and non-IoT-type devices share the same cell, then resource utilization is improved, but interference between device types increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by transmitting differentiated indication information tailored to specific device types within the same cell. The network device sends first indication information with parameters optimized for IoT devices (e.g., narrowband access, low data rate) and second indication information with parameters optimized for non-IoT devices (e.g., wideband access, high data rate). This localized optimization allows both device types to coexist in the same cell with minimized mutual interference and maximized resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
