Base Station Subscription Management for Mobility Handover Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of implementing mobility management applications in electronic devices increases due to subscription and unsubscription procedures, leading to increased load and resource consumption.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a separate subscription manager to handle mobility management functions, separate from the application, to reduce the complexity and resource load by minimizing the number of subscription and unsubscription procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an application implements subscription and unsubscription procedures for mobility management, then the application can collect user terminal location information from base stations, but the implementation complexity and resource load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mobility management function by separating the subscription manager from the application. The subscription manager is implemented as a distinct component that handles subscription and unsubscription procedures independently, while the application focuses on collecting location information. This segmentation reduces the complexity of the application while maintaining reliable mobility management functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The subscription manager acts as an intermediary component between the application and the base station. It mediates the subscription and unsubscription procedures, handling the complex signaling and management tasks, while the application simply sends location information collection requests. This intermediary approach reduces application complexity while ensuring reliable mobility management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of applications implementing mobility management increases, then more location information can be collected, but the load on the electronic device increases due to multiple subscription and unsubscription procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The subscription manager is designed as a universal component that serves multiple applications. Instead of each application implementing its own subscription and unsubscription procedures, the single subscription manager handles these operations for all applications. This multi-functionality approach maintains the system's ability to collect location information from multiple base stations while significantly reducing the overall device load.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the subscription and unsubscription procedures into a single centralized management component. Multiple applications that would otherwise handle these procedures independently are consolidated under one subscription manager. This combining approach maintains the versatility of collecting location information from multiple sources while reducing redundant procedures and device load.

AI summary
An electronic device may include: at least one application using information related to a user terminal; and a subscription manager, wherein the subscription manager may be configured to: receive, from the application, a subscription request for collecting information of the user terminal; perform at least one operation for subscribing a first base station connected to the user terminal; receive, from the first base station, information indicating that handover to a second base station of the user terminal is performed; perform at least one operation for subscribing the second base station, in response to receiving the information indicating that the handover is performed; and perform at least one operation for releasing subscription with the first base station. Other various embodiments are possible.
