Neighbor Cell Configuration Sharing for Energy-Saving Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User equipment (UE) cannot access a cell due to the reduction or cessation of common configuration parameter transmission by energy-saving cells, leading to energy consumption issues in mobile communication networks.
Innovation Solution
A terminal receives radio common configuration parameters of a neighbor cell from a serving cell, allowing it to access the neighbor cell while reducing energy consumption by minimizing the need for the neighbor cell to transmit these parameters.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by stationary object
If energy-saving cells decrease or stop transmission of common configuration parameters, then energy consumption is reduced, but user equipment cannot access the cell
Solution Approach 1:
The serving cell acts as an intermediary to transmit the neighbor cell's common configuration parameters to the terminal. Instead of the neighbor cell directly transmitting these parameters (which consumes energy), the serving cell forwards them on behalf of the neighbor cell, enabling terminal access while the neighbor cell remains in an energy-saving state.
Solution Approach 2:
The serving cell transmits a copy of the neighbor cell's common configuration parameters to the terminal. The terminal receives these parameters as if they were transmitted directly by the neighbor cell, allowing access functionality without requiring the neighbor cell to actively transmit.
2Reliability
If neighbor cell continuously transmits common configuration parameters, then terminal can access the cell, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The serving cell serves as a mediator that handles the transmission of common configuration parameters. The neighbor cell only needs to provide these parameters to the serving cell occasionally, and the serving cell handles the repeated transmissions to terminals, significantly reducing the neighbor cell's energy consumption while maintaining access reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of continuous transmission by the neighbor cell, the common configuration parameters are transmitted periodically or on-demand through the serving cell. The serving cell can update these parameters periodically or when changes occur, rather than requiring continuous transmission from the neighbor cell.
