Network Device Rejecting Data Notifications for Non-Allowed Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing number of user equipment (UEs) and the growing amount of data and control information in new radio communication systems pose a challenge for base stations (BS) to efficiently manage limited radio resources for uplink and downlink data and control information transmission.
Innovation Solution
A method where a first network device receives a request from a second network device for a user equipment (UE) and detects if the UE is in a non-allowed area for communication service. It rejects the request unless the data notification is for a regulatory prioritized service, such as emergency or multimedia priority service, and transmits paging to the radio access network if necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the base station serves more user equipments and transmits more data and control information, then the communication capacity increases, but the radio resources become insufficient and resource management becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively rejecting data notifications for UEs in non-allowed areas, rather than processing all incoming data notifications. This partial processing approach allows the system to maintain service for prioritized UEs while conserving radio resources, effectively managing the contradiction between serving more users and having sufficient resources
2Loss of energy
If the base station rejects data notification for UE in non-allowed area, then the radio resources are conserved, but the communication service for that UE is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating service treatment based on UE location and service type. UEs in non-allowed areas receive rejected data notifications for regular services but maintain access for prioritized services. This localized differentiation allows resource conservation in specific areas while preserving critical communication services
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the service parameter based on UE location status. When a UE is detected to be in a non-allowed area, the system modifies the handling of data notifications by rejecting them for regular services while maintaining transmission for prioritized services, effectively using parameter changes to balance resource conservation and service reliability
3Adaptability or versatility
If the base station processes all data notifications, then the communication service coverage is maximized, but the system complexity and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates the processing of data notifications into two distinct paths: one for UEs in allowed areas (processed normally) and one for UEs in non-allowed areas (rejected for regular services). This extraction simplifies the overall processing logic by removing the need to handle all notifications through a single complex pathway, reducing system complexity while maintaining appropriate service coverage

AI summary
A first network device receives a request associated with data notification for a user equipment (UE). When the UE is in a mode in which communication of mobile terminated data is restricted and the first network device detects that the UE is in a non-allowed area, the first network device rejects the request unless the data notification is for a regulatory prioritized service.
