Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In MOCN cell environments, some user equipment (UEs) cannot correctly display the names of their serving communication operators due to limitations in broadcasting PLMN information, and there is a need for efficient channel resource management to ensure fair utilization and maintenance costs.
Innovation Solution
Configuring multiple broadcast control channels corresponding to the number of communication operators to broadcast PLMN information and dynamically assigning channel resources based on real-time services and preset rules, ensuring correct operator display and fair resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If only one PLMN information is broadcast in the MOCN cell, then the broadcast control channel structure remains simple, but user equipments cannot correctly display names of their serving communication operators
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single broadcast control channel into multiple BCCHs, with each BCCH dedicated to broadcasting PLMN information for a specific communication operator. This segmentation allows UEs to receive operator-specific PLMN information through the corresponding BCCH, enabling correct operator identification while maintaining a structured and manageable multi-channel configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
Each broadcast control channel is configured with localized quality characteristics by associating specific PLMN information with each BCCH. The PLMN information includes operator-specific identifiers that match the serving operator, ensuring that each UE receives the correct operator information through the appropriate BCCH, thereby improving identification accuracy without requiring complete information in all channels.
2Reliability
If multiple broadcast control channels are configured for different operators, then UEs can correctly display operator names, but the complexity of channel configuration and resource management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality in the broadcast control channel configuration by making each BCCH serve dual purposes: broadcasting PLMN information for operator identification and enabling UEs to identify their serving operator. This universal approach allows the same channel structure to handle multiple operators' information needs simultaneously, reducing the need for separate dedicated channels for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where UEs receive PLMN information through the appropriate BCCH and can identify their serving operator based on the received information. This feedback loop ensures that UEs can correctly display operator names while the network can monitor and manage the broadcast control channels efficiently, reducing overall system complexity through informed resource management.
3Productivity
If channel resources are statically allocated to each operator, then resource allocation is simple to manage, but spectrum resource utilization ratio decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic channel resource management where the allocation of broadcast control channels and their associated PLMN information can be adjusted based on real-time network conditions and operator requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize spectrum resource utilization by allocating channel resources flexibly to different operators according to actual demand, rather than using fixed static allocation, thereby improving productivity while managing complexity through adaptive control mechanisms.
