Solution Overview

Problem

Current commercial networks experience ping-pong handover and reselection issues due to manual configuration of timers and thresholds for load balance, leading to instability and unnecessary handovers, affecting network stability and user perception.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that automatically adjust mobility parameters by comparing load conditions and thresholds between cells, selecting target neighboring cells with lower loads, and continuously adjusting mobility parameters until differences meet preset thresholds, thereby preventing ping-pong handovers and reselections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual configuration of timers and thresholds is used for load balance, then the load balance function can be implemented, but ping-pong handover and reselection occur causing network instability

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts mobility parameters based on comparisons with load balance thresholds, automatically modifying parameters to prevent ping-pong handovers and reselections, thereby maintaining network stability without manual configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If mobility parameters are not adjusted, then configuration is simple, but users handover back to high-load cells causing load balance effect to be lost

Engineering Contradiction:
