IRPAgent Subscription Filtering for RLF Report Load Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method of sending radio link failure (RLF) reports from a base station to an Integration Reference Point Manager (IRPManager) through an Integration Reference Point Agent (IRPAgent) in a best-effort mode results in a heavy load of information transfer and unnecessary processing for the IRPManager, as it receives redundant reports.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method where the IRPAgent configures and subscribes to specific RLF report conditions, obtaining and sending only relevant reports to the IRPManager, thereby reducing the information load and processing redundant reports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the base station sends all RLF reports to the IRPManager through the IRPAgent in best-effort mode, then complete RLF report information is available, but the information transfer load between IRPManager and IRPAgent becomes heavy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and filters only the necessary RLF report information that meets specific subscription conditions from the complete set of RLF reports. The IRPAgent selectively obtains and forwards only relevant RLF reports to the IRPManager based on configured subscription conditions, removing unnecessary information transfer while maintaining data completeness for required parameters.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the IRPManager receives all RLF reports, then all possible reports are available for processing, but the IRPManager processes redundant and useless reports increasing processing load
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary filtering of RLF reports at the IRPAgent before they reach the IRPManager. Subscription conditions are configured in advance, and the IRPAgent pre-processes RLF reports by comparing them against these conditions, obtaining only matching reports. This preliminary action prevents the IRPManager from receiving and processing redundant reports, thereby improving processing efficiency while maintaining adaptability to specific management applications.
3Quantity of substance
If the IRPAgent filters RLF reports based on subscription conditions, then information transfer load is reduced, but the complexity of the IRPAgent increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial filtering action at the IRPAgent level, where subscription conditions are configured to specify exactly which RLF reports need to be obtained. Rather than implementing complex filtering logic, the system uses a targeted approach where the IRPAgent obtains reports that match predefined subscription conditions. This partial action reduces information transfer load while keeping the IRPAgent complexity manageable by focusing only on necessary filtering criteria.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and device for subscribing to an RLF report. The method includes: configuring, by an integration reference point manager, a subscription condition for an RLF report, for an integration reference point agent; and obtaining, by the integration reference point manager, an RLF report that is sent by the integration reference point agent and satisfies the subscription condition. The embodiments of the present invention can avoid the case in the prior art that a base station sends an RLF report obtained from a UE, to an IRPManager through an IRPAgent in a best-effort mode, thereby decreasing the load of information transferred between the IRPManager and the IRPAgent.
