MC Location Reporting Trigger Cancellation for 5G/6G Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current specifications lack a clear method for canceling location reporting triggers and updating location reporting configurations in mission-critical (MC) service users, leading to inefficiencies and potential information overload when authorized users no longer need location information.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for managing location reporting by first and second location management clients and servers, allowing authorized MC service users to cancel or update location reporting triggers through a location management server, verifying authorization and initiating event-triggered updates or cancellations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If location reporting triggers are continuously maintained for MC service users, then location information availability is improved, but network resources are wasted and information overload occurs when users no longer need location data
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the location management server receives cancellation requests from location management clients and updates the location reporting configuration accordingly. This allows the system to respond to changing information needs of MC service users, maintaining location reporting only when actually required, thus avoiding waste of network resources while ensuring information availability when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The location reporting configuration is made dynamic rather than static. The system allows authorized MC service users to cancel or update location reporting triggers based on their current needs. This dynamic adjustment enables the system to adapt to changing operational requirements, maintaining location information availability only when necessary and reducing network resource consumption when location data is no longer needed.
2Device complexity
If location reporting triggers are not properly managed, then system simplicity is maintained, but unauthorized or unnecessary location reporting continues causing information overload
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and removes unnecessary location reporting triggers through the cancellation mechanism. When an authorized MC service user determines that location information is no longer needed, they can send a cancellation request to the location management server, which then removes the corresponding trigger. This extraction of unnecessary triggers reduces information overload while maintaining system simplicity through a clear, straightforward cancellation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The location management server acts as an intermediary between location management clients and the location reporting system. It receives cancellation requests from authorized users, verifies their authorization, and processes the trigger cancellation accordingly. This intermediary role simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the management function, making it easier to control and remove unnecessary location reporting triggers without complexity in the client devices.
3Reliability
If authorization verification is added to location reporting management, then unauthorized location reporting is prevented, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service authorization where location management clients automatically possess the authorization credentials needed to manage location reporting triggers for MC service users. The authorization verification is embedded in the existing client-server communication framework, allowing users to cancel triggers without requiring complex external authorization systems. This self-service approach maintains reliability through built-in authorization control while minimizing added system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The method includes an authorized MC service user using a location management client to cancel requested location reporting triggers for the location information of another MC service user. The request can be used to cancel its own or another MC service user's requested location reporting triggers. A first location management client residing on a first MC service UE can transmit a location reporting trigger to a location management server to obtain location information of an MC service user at a second location management client residing at a second MC service user. The first location management client determines that the location information of the MC service user at the second location management client is unnecessary and transmits a location reporting trigger update or location reporting trigger cancel request to the location management server.
