Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication systems face challenges in managing exponential data volume increases due to insufficient spectral efficiency and unutilized spectral resources, particularly with millimeter wave communications requiring high-directionality antennas and accurate beam forming, leading to disordered network access processes due to undefined terminal behaviors.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for processing network access by acquiring and notifying resource configuration information for access signal groups, including sending and access response resources, to define terminal behaviors and improve network access stability and speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a terminal has multi-beam transmitting capability and sends access signals using multiple beams, then the network access coverage and reliability are improved, but the access process overhead increases and the base station cannot respond to more uplink accesses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the access signal transmission process by introducing access signal groups, where each group contains multiple access signals that can be transmitted using different beams. This segmentation allows the terminal to systematically manage multi-beam transmissions while the base station can efficiently process and identify signals from the same terminal across different groups, reducing overall access process overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the base station pre-configure access signal group information and notify terminals in advance. This allows terminals to prepare their multi-beam access signals according to the pre-defined groups, enabling the base station to efficiently respond to multiple uplink accesses without increasing real-time processing overhead.
2Productivity
If access signal groups are used to identify whether access signals come from the same terminal, then the base station can efficiently manage uplink accesses, but the terminal implementation becomes disordered due to lack of behavior definition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by defining flexible terminal behaviors within the access signal group framework. The terminal is given the freedom to select which access signals within a group to transmit based on channel conditions, terminal capabilities, and traffic requirements, while still maintaining implementation order through the structured group configuration provided by the base station.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes by allowing terminals to adjust transmission parameters (such as beam directions, power levels, and timing) within the constraints of the access signal group configuration. This enables terminals to optimize their transmissions dynamically while maintaining orderly implementation through the predefined group structure.
