Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in providing non-data wireless services, leading to network overload due to the unnecessary use of time and frequency resources for data transfer and session establishment, which can be avoided by configuring non-data wireless service (NDWS) configurations.

Innovation Solution

Implementing NDWS configurations that allow for the provision of services such as positioning, radio frequency sensing, and timing synchronization without requiring data transfer or session establishment, thereby reducing network load.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data-based wireless service configurations are used, then services can be provided with established protocols, but network resources are wasted due to unnecessary data transfer and session establishment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provisioning efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and separates non-data wireless services (positioning, sensing, timing synchronization) from traditional data-based service configurations. By creating dedicated NDWS configurations that exclude data transfer and session establishment components, the system eliminates unnecessary network resource consumption while maintaining service functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the configuration parameters from data-oriented settings to non-data service-oriented settings. This includes modifying RRC connection management parameters, data radio bearer parameters, and session management parameters to be either optional or excluded entirely for NDWS, thereby reducing network resource usage while maintaining service delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If non-data wireless services are implemented without dedicated configurations, then service delivery is simplified, but network overload occurs due to inefficient resource usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration complexityVSAvoidnetwork capacity utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wireless service configuration into distinct types: traditional data-based configurations and new non-data wireless service configurations. Each segment has its own optimized parameter set, allowing the system to handle NDWS with simplified procedures while maintaining overall network capacity and avoiding overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional RRC connection and data bearers are used for NDWS, then existing protocols can be leveraged, but unnecessary data transfer and session establishment occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotocol compatibilityVSAvoidservice setup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary configuration actions by establishing NDWS-specific RRC configurations before actual service delivery. This includes pre-configuring appropriate parameters and excluding unnecessary data transfer and session establishment components, thereby reducing service setup time while maintaining protocol compatibility through structured configuration approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
