Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in managing radio resources at the cell level, leading to issues such as interference, uneven load distribution, and inefficient power consumption due to limitations in cell management granularity.

Innovation Solution

The system divides cells into micro service areas based on factors like RSRP measurement, beam forming coverage, and synchronization signal blocks, allowing for granular management of access control, uplink synchronization, and power control within these areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If cell-level radio resource management is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but management precision and interference control capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradio resource management precisionVSAvoidcell management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments a cell into multiple micro service areas based on spatial distribution and interference characteristics. Each micro service area can be independently managed for access control, allowing precise resource allocation while maintaining overall system structure. This segmentation enables fine-grained management of radio resources without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different management strategies to different micro service areas within a cell based on their specific characteristics. Areas with high interference can use stricter access control, while low-interference areas can allow more accesses. This local differentiation optimizes resource management precision for each region without imposing uniform complexity across the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If access control is relaxed to allow more user accesses, then service availability is improved, but interference level increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser access capabilityVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing the cell into micro service areas, the system can apply differentiated access control policies to each segment. Users in micro service areas with high interference can be restricted from accessing certain areas, while users in low-interference areas can access more freely. This segmentation enables the system to maintain high service availability while controlling interference through localized management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where network nodes monitor interference levels and adjust access control parameters dynamically. When interference exceeds thresholds in specific micro service areas, the system can modify access control settings for those areas while maintaining relaxed access in other areas. This feedback loop enables adaptive balance between service availability and interference control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Use of energy by moving object

If mobility measurement requirement is reduced for center users, then power consumption is reduced, but location accuracy and handover performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUE power consumptionVSAvoidmobility measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies differentiated mobility measurement requirements based on user location within micro service areas. Users in center areas can operate with reduced measurement requirements and lower power consumption, while users at edges or in dynamic environments maintain standard measurement requirements for accurate handover. This local differentiation optimizes power consumption without compromising handover performance where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts mobility measurement requirements based on real-time conditions such as user movement speed, location within micro service areas, and network load. When a user is stationary or moving slowly in a stable micro service area, the system reduces measurement frequency to save power. When dynamic conditions require handover, the system automatically increases measurement activity. This dynamic adaptation balances power consumption with measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
