Solution Overview

Problem

The MCG link recovery mechanism in dual connectivity scenarios cannot resume the connection between the UE and the MCG and/or SCG as soon as possible due to parameter configuration issues.

Innovation Solution

The UE reports first information related to fast master cell group link recovery, which includes various parameters such as T316, RLF detection parameters, and feedback information timing, allowing the network side to analyze and optimize the configuration for faster link recovery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the UE uses the fast MCG link recovery mechanism to resume connection quickly, then the connection recovery speed is improved, but the service experience deteriorates due to parameter configuration issues causing delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection recovery speedVSAvoidservice experience
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the UE reports first information (including timing feedback information) to the network side, and the network side provides second information back to the UE. This feedback loop enables continuous optimization of the fast MCG link recovery mechanism, allowing the system to learn from actual performance data and adjust parameters to achieve both fast recovery and good service experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent focuses on optimizing parameter configurations (such as timer durations and threshold values) of the fast MCG link recovery mechanism. By analyzing the reported first information and adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system can resolve the contradiction between achieving fast connection recovery and maintaining good service experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the UE reports detailed first information about fast MCG link recovery, then the network side can optimize configuration, but the information reporting complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration optimization efficiencyVSAvoidinformation reporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the information reporting into structured segments: the UE reports specific first information (including timing feedback information about when feedback messages were received relative to timer expiration) in a standardized format. This segmentation makes the reporting process manageable and parseable by the network side, reducing the complexity burden while still providing sufficient data for optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The UE autonomously collects, processes, and reports the first information without requiring complex network-side intervention. The UE self-manages the information gathering process (recording timing data, determining feedback receipt status) and initiates the reporting, reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining high optimization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
