Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems lack efficient mechanisms for managing dormancy states of multiple network entities, leading to suboptimal resource utilization and performance in heterogeneous wireless networks.
Innovation Solution
Implementing dormancy indications for multiple network entities, allowing user equipment (UE) and network entities to associate different dormancy states with various network entities, thereby optimizing communication based on these states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If dormancy indications are implemented for multiple network entities, then resource utilization and network performance are improved, but device complexity and implementation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the dormancy management by introducing separate dormancy indication fields for different network entities (first dormancy indication for first network entity, second dormancy indication for second network entity). This allows independent control and monitoring of each network entity's dormancy state, improving resource utilization while maintaining manageable complexity through structured segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the dormancy indication mechanism from a single-dimension approach to a multi-dimensional approach by incorporating multiple dormancy indications corresponding to different network entities. This dimensional expansion enables more granular resource management across heterogeneous network entities without proportionally increasing implementation complexity.
2Productivity
If multiple dormancy indications are transmitted and processed, then communication efficiency is enhanced, but loss of information and association errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the association mechanism by establishing distinct mappings between dormancy indications and network entities (first dormancy indication with first network entity, second dormancy indication with second network entity). This segmentation prevents association errors by ensuring each dormancy indication is correctly linked to its corresponding network entity, thereby maintaining information integrity while improving communication efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the network entity transmits dormancy indications to the UE, and the UE processes and applies these indications to adjust its communication behavior. This feedback loop ensures correct association between dormancy states and network entities, reducing information loss and preventing association errors while enhancing overall communication efficiency.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first dormancy indication and a second dormancy indication. The UE may communicate in a wireless network based at least in part on associating the first dormancy indication with a first dormancy state of a first network entity in the wireless network and associating the second dormancy indication with a second dormancy state of a second network entity in the wireless network. Numerous other aspects are described.
