Measurement Reporting Segmentation for False Base Station Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Measurement reporting for false base station detection imposes a significant load and impact on wireless devices, threatening service continuity and increasing power consumption.
Innovation Solution
Network equipment configures different sets of wireless devices to report different measurements, distributing the reporting load across multiple devices, and allows individual devices to autonomously decide whether to apply the reporting configuration based on certain rules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all wireless devices are configured to report all measurements for false base station detection, then detection reliability is improved, but device power consumption increases and service continuity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement reporting task by configuring different subsets of wireless devices to report different measurements. Instead of requiring all devices to report all measurements, the network equipment divides the measurement set across multiple devices, reducing the burden on each individual device while maintaining overall detection reliability through aggregated reports.
2Reliability
If measurement reporting frequency and content are increased for false base station detection, then detection capability is improved, but service continuity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the measurement reporting responsibilities across different wireless devices. Each device reports a specific subset of measurements, which reduces the reporting frequency and content burden on individual devices, thereby maintaining service continuity while still achieving comprehensive false base station detection through network aggregation of all reports.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive measurement reporting is required from all devices, then false base station detection accuracy is improved, but device load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement reporting load by configuring different wireless devices to report different measurements from the comprehensive set. This segmentation reduces the complexity and load on each individual device while maintaining detection accuracy through the aggregation of all segmented reports at the network level.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different measurement reporting configurations to different wireless devices based on their local characteristics or network decisions. Each device has a tailored reporting configuration that matches its specific role, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive detection capability.
