Mobile Terminal Paging Response in Packet Transfer State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals in the Packet Transfer state cannot receive paging messages, leading to delayed text message reception due to their inability to respond, resulting in network-assumed unavailability and subsequent delays in message delivery until periodic position updates occur, which can take several hours.
Innovation Solution
A method where a network server pages a mobile terminal, determines if it's in Packet Transfer state, and if no response is received, terminates paging until position update information is sent, then resumes paging based on new position information to facilitate text message delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mobile terminal is in the Packet Transfer state, then it can perform GPRS service, but it cannot receive paging messages and respond to text message delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic state detection and response mechanism. The mobile terminal dynamically switches between silent state (during Packet Transfer) and responsive state (when position update occurs), allowing it to adapt its paging response behavior based on current operational state. This resolves the contradiction by making the terminal responsive only when appropriate, ensuring text message delivery reliability while maintaining GPRS service continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the mobile terminal actively reports position update information to the network server. This feedback allows the network to resume paging the terminal after it exits Packet Transfer state, ensuring reliable text message delivery. The feedback loop transforms the terminal from a passive unresponsive state to an active participant in the paging process, resolving the reliability issue.
2Productivity
If the network continues to page a mobile terminal in Packet Transfer state, then text message delivery can be attempted, but the terminal cannot respond leading to unnecessary paging cycles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the mobile terminal proactively send position update information to the network server before actual text message delivery is needed. This preliminary notification allows the network to stop unnecessary paging cycles during Packet Transfer state, eliminating time waste. When the terminal exits the state, the pre-established connection enables immediate text message delivery, achieving both speed and efficiency.
3Reliability
If the mobile terminal waits for periodic position update to receive text messages, then message delivery eventually occurs, but the delay can be several hours
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes continuity of useful action by maintaining the paging relationship between network and terminal even when the terminal is in Packet Transfer state. Instead of breaking the connection and waiting for periodic position updates, the system continuously monitors and resumes paging immediately when the terminal becomes responsive. This continuous action eliminates hours-long delays while ensuring reliable delivery, as the paging process never truly stops.

AI summary
The present invention belongs to the field of mobile terminal technology, and discloses a mobile terminal network and a short message reception method for a mobile terminal. Said method includes the following steps: a network server pages a mobile terminal, and determines whether a short message can be sent; if said mobile terminal is in a Packet Transfer state, the paging from said network server is not responded; without receiving response from said mobile terminal, said network server stops paging until receiving location update information from said mobile terminal; after updating the location, said mobile terminal sends location update information to said network server; said network server continues the paging for said motile terminal so as to perform the operation of sending the short message. When the mobile terminal is switched in a Packet Transfer state, the short messages can be received and transmitted fast and timely, thus ensuring users can receive the short messages timely.
