Communication Link Adjustment for Multi-System Terminal Handover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a terminal needs to communicate with a second communication system while already connected to a first communication system, the existing methods result in complete disconnection of communication links with the first system, leading to inefficiencies and the need for a restart, which affects communication efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The terminal determines adjustment information based on its capability information and sends it to the first communication system to maintain one or more communication links, allowing simultaneous operations with both systems by adjusting the communication links accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal disconnects communication links with the first communication system to communicate with the second communication system, then the terminal can perform communication operations with the second communication system, but the communication efficiency with the first communication system deteriorates due to complete disconnection and need for restart
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication links into uplink and downlink components, allowing selective maintenance of links. When switching to the second communication system, the terminal can maintain the uplink link with the first communication system while disconnecting the downlink, enabling parallel communication operations without complete disconnection and avoiding restart procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of communication link states based on operational needs. The terminal can transition between different link configurations (fully connected, partially connected, disconnected) depending on whether it is operating with the first or second communication system, optimizing efficiency for each scenario.
2Productivity
If the terminal maintains communication links with the first communication system while communicating with the second communication system, then the communication efficiency with the first system is improved, but the device complexity increases due to link adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by maintaining only the necessary portion of the communication link (uplink or downlink) rather than the complete link. This selective maintenance reduces the complexity of link management mechanisms while preserving sufficient communication efficiency for the operational context.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state parameters of communication links (connection status, directionality) based on operational requirements. By adjusting link parameters dynamically rather than maintaining fixed complex configurations, the system achieves high efficiency with reduced management complexity.

AI summary
A method for indicating adjustment is performed by a terminal, and includes: in response to a need to perform a second communication operation with a second communication system when performing a first communication operation with a first communication system, determining adjustment information based on capability information of the terminal; and sending the adjustment information to the first communication system, wherein the adjustment information is configured to indicate that the first communication system adjusts a communication link between the terminal and the first communication system based on the adjustment information.
