Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing multicast broadcast services (MBS) due to fixed operation in either the first mode or second mode, leading to potential disruptions in service continuity and resource inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a communication control method that allows dynamic switching between a first mode with dedicated signaling and a second mode with broadcast signaling for MBS configuration, enabling seamless transitions based on load conditions and user equipment state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user equipment operates in the first mode with dedicated signaling, then the service continuity and quality are improved, but the network resource consumption and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic mode switching between first mode (dedicated signaling) and second mode (broadcast signaling) based on real-time conditions. The network can switch between modes depending on user equipment state, network load, and service requirements, allowing the system to adapt and optimize resource consumption while maintaining service continuity.
2Quantity of substance
If the user equipment operates in the second mode with broadcast signaling, then the network resource consumption is reduced, but the service quality and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between broadcast signaling (second mode) for resource efficiency and dedicated signaling (first mode) for service quality based on actual network conditions and user requirements, resolving the contradiction between resource consumption and service quality.
3Device complexity
If the delivery mode is fixed, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to network conditions and resource utilization efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic mode switching capability that allows the system to adapt to changing network conditions, user equipment states, and resource availability. This enhances versatility while managing complexity through standardized switching protocols and control mechanisms.

AI summary
A communication control method according to an embodiment is a method used in a mobile communication system for providing a multicast broadcast service (MBS) from a base station to a user equipment. The communication control method includes transmitting, by the base station to the user equipment, switching information for switching a delivery mode between a first mode in which an MBS configuration is provided through dedicated signaling and a second mode in which the MBS configuration is provided through broadcast signaling; and performing, by the user equipment having received the switching information, mode switching between the first mode and the second mode based on the switching information.
