Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile communication devices experience call disconnections due to insufficient communication resources and harsh environments, with existing solutions requiring high hardware costs or passive resource configurations.

Innovation Solution

A mobile communication device equipped with an evaluation, determination, and reporting module that uses customized rules to manage resource access rights, allowing for proactive adjustment of base station connections based on signal strength and availability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If hardware standards are increased to enhance connection ability, then connection reliability is improved, but device cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiddevice cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the reporting threshold parameter from the standard value to a customized lower value, enabling the mobile device to proactively report base station conditions before connection failure occurs. This parameter adjustment improves connection reliability without requiring hardware upgrades.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by having the mobile device proactively report base station signal conditions before the connection actually fails. The customized reporting rule triggers reports when signal strength drops below a threshold, allowing the network to pre-allocate resources or switch connections before disconnection occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If standard reporting rules are used, then device complexity is reduced, but connection reliability deteriorates due to delayed resource acquisition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidreporting rule complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the reporting threshold parameter from standard specifications to a customized value that triggers earlier reporting. This single parameter change enables proactive connection management without complicating the overall reporting mechanism or device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A mobile communication device for a wireless communication network includes an evaluation module, a determination module and an informing module. The evaluation module evaluates a connection ability between the mobile communication device and a plurality of base stations. The determination module determines whether a report is to be issued according to the connection ability and a customized rule different from a standard rule. The standard rule corresponds to a threshold of the connection ability defined by the wireless communication network. When a determination result of the determination module is yes, the informing module issues the report to the wireless communication network.
