Terminal Policy Configuration via NAS Indication Parameter
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems, when congestion occurs in base stations or core network elements, terminals cannot configure their policies in a timely manner due to processing delays, leading to adverse effects on policy updates.
Innovation Solution
The method involves sending a radio resource control (RRC) setup request and non-access stratum (NAS) messages with preset parameters to indicate policy configuration needs, allowing base stations and core network elements to prioritize processing these requests, ensuring timely policy configuration even during congestion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal sends a policy configuration request through the base station and core network elements, then the policy can be configured, but when congestion occurs in the base station or core network elements, the request cannot be processed in time, leading to delayed policy configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of message prioritization by introducing a specific indication parameter in the NAS message that identifies policy configuration requests. This allows the base station and core network elements to recognize and prioritize these requests during congestion, ensuring timely processing while maintaining normal operation of other messages
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal indicates its policy configuration needs through the NAS message, and the base station and core network elements respond by prioritizing the processing of this message. The indication parameter serves as feedback information that triggers the prioritization response from network elements

AI summary
A user equipment strategy configuration method and apparatus, a user equipment, a base station, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: in an idle state, a user equipment sends an RRC establishment request to a base station; the user equipment sends an NAS message to the base station, wherein at least one of the RRC establishment request and the NAS message comprises a preset parameter, and the preset parameter indicates use for configuring a user equipment strategy; and/or in a connected state, send the NAS message to the base station by means of an SRB, wherein the NAS message comprises the preset parameter, and the preset parameter indicates use for configuring the user equipment strategy.
