Solution Overview

Problem

Communication failures, such as radio link failures, pose challenges in wireless communications, making it difficult to compensate for these failures effectively.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods are developed to generate and transmit radio link failure reports that indicate packet duplication, allowing devices to adjust configuration parameters and improve communication by promoting more effective handovers and reducing further errors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If radio link failure reports are generated and transmitted to indicate packet duplication, then communication resilience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication resilienceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The failure report is segmented to include only essential information elements (IEs) such as failure type, cell ID, and packet duplication indication. This selective segmentation reduces the complexity of report generation and processing while maintaining the reliability benefit of informing the network about link failures and duplication status.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and transmits only the critical failure information elements needed for network recovery decisions, rather than reporting all possible parameters. This extraction approach improves communication resilience by providing timely failure notification while minimizing the complexity overhead of processing and transmitting extensive failure data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If configuration parameters are adjusted based on failure reports, then communication efficiency is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring failure conditions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoiddifficulty of detecting and measuring
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the wireless device monitors radio link quality, detects failures, and reports them to the network. The network then adjusts configuration parameters based on this feedback. This closed-loop feedback system improves communication efficiency by enabling dynamic adaptation while providing clear detection and measurement criteria for failure conditions through standardized reporting protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes preliminary detection thresholds and reporting triggers before failures occur. The device continuously monitors radio link quality against predefined thresholds and automatically triggers failure reports when conditions are met. This preliminary preparation simplifies the detection and measurement process by having predetermined criteria ready, rather than requiring complex real-time analysis during failure events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
