MBSR Behaviour Control by PLMN and UE Location
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods do not allow Home Public Land Mobile Networks (HPLMN) or serving/registered Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) to selectively control User Equipment (UE) behavior as a normal UE or Mobile Base Station Relay (MBSR) based on the serving PLMN or UE location, leading to unnecessary signaling overload and unclear authorization in forbidden areas.
Innovation Solution
The UE receives a reject message from the network entity indicating forbidden areas for MBSR operation, allowing it to remain registered or trigger a registration procedure to avoid operating as MBSR in prohibited areas, thereby reducing signaling overload by dynamically managing MBSR behavior.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the UE operates as MBSR without network control, then MBSR service availability is improved, but signaling overload increases and authorization clarity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network entity pre-configures the UE with MBSR authorization parameters, forbidden area lists, and operation conditions before the UE attempts to operate as MBSR. This preliminary configuration reduces subsequent signaling overhead by allowing the UE to autonomously determine whether MBSR operation is permitted based on pre-provided information rather than requiring continuous network authorization requests.
Solution Approach 2:
The network entity receives feedback from the UE regarding MBSR operation status and authorization compliance. This feedback mechanism allows the network to monitor UE behavior and provide corrective authorization updates only when necessary, reducing overall signaling overhead while maintaining proper MBSR service control and authorization clarity.
2Quantity of substance
If the UE autonomously determines MBSR operation, then signaling overhead is reduced, but authorization clarity and compliance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The network entity provides the UE with pre-configured authorization parameters including forbidden area lists and MBSR operation conditions before autonomous operation begins. This preliminary action ensures the UE has clear authorization guidelines to follow, maintaining authorization clarity while enabling autonomous operation that reduces signaling overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE provides feedback to the network entity regarding its MBSR operation status and any violations of authorization conditions. This feedback loop ensures the network remains aware of UE behavior and can provide corrective authorization updates, maintaining authorization clarity while allowing autonomous operation to reduce signaling overhead in normal conditions.
3Reliability
If the network provides detailed authorization control, then authorization clarity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authorization control mechanism is segmented into distinct components: pre-configured authorization parameters, forbidden area lists, operation conditions, and feedback mechanisms. This segmentation allows the complex authorization control to be broken down into manageable elements that the UE can process independently, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining comprehensive authorization clarity.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE is empowered to autonomously determine whether MBSR operation is permitted based on pre-configured authorization parameters and forbidden area lists without requiring continuous network intervention. This self-service capability reduces the complexity of real-time network control mechanisms while maintaining clear authorization through pre-provided guidelines that the UE applies independently.
